Timeframe: Baseline and 6 months

Population: one participant on insulin. another participant had data missing at 6 months.

Change in hyperglycemia assessed by Homeostatic Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance, HOMA-IR (a validated assessment of insulin resistance). HOMA-IR = fasting insulin (microU/L) x fasting glucose (nmol/L)/22.5.

Change in Quality of Life - as assessed by the Cushing's Quality of Life questionnaire (CushingQoL). Patient completed questionnaire, 12 items, each scored on a 5 point score, resulting in a score of 12 (worst) to 60 (best) where higher scores indicate more favorable QOL.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and 6 months

Change in Quality of Life as assessed by the Nottingham Health Profile (NHP) which is a patient reported questionnaire to measure a patient's view of their own health status. There are 6 sections (Energy level, Pain, Emotional Reaction, Sleep, Social Isolation, and Physical Abilities. All questions have only yes/no answer options and each section score is weighted so that the possible score range for any section is 0-100. The higher the score, the greater the number and severity of problems.

Change in Quality of Life as assessed by the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). Questionnaire with 7 items for anxiety and 7 items for depression, each item is scored on a 4 point response 0 - 3, with full range from 0 to 42, with higher score indicating more severe anxiety or depression

Change in Quality of Life as assessed by the Beck Depression Inventory. a 21-question multiple choice, self-report inventory that is used for measuring the severity of anxiety. Scoring is from a 0 (not at all) to 3 (severe) with a total score range of 0-63. Higher total scores indicate more severe anxiety symptoms.

Timeframe: Baseline and 6 months

Change in Quality of Life - as assessed by the State Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI). The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory both state and trait anxiety separately. Each type of anxiety has its own scale of 20 different questions that are scored and averaged. Total scores range from 20 to 80, with higher scores correlating with greater anxiety.
