Details  Cancer patients receiving dexamethasone as premedication for chemotherapy 
 
ExclusionCriteria 
Details  Known diabetics or newly detected diabetes mellitus defined as FBS >126 mg/dL, RBS >200 mg/dL or HbA1c >6.5% at baseline testing

Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
Patients who become newly detected diabetes mellitus defined as FBS more than or equal to 126 mg/dL or HbA1c more than or equal to 6.5%  Fasting blood glucose, Post prandial blood glucose and HbA1c will be checked at 3 months and 6 months after start of dexamethasone. 
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
Fasting insulin levels will be studied & insulin resistance will be calculated by HOMA-IR formula. High insulin resistance will be defined by HOMA-IR more than or equal to 2.5.  Fasting insulin levels will be studied at baseline, before start of dexamethasone & at 3 months & 6 months after starting dexamethasone. 
Patient reported outcome of chemotherapy induced nausea & vomiting will be recorded using the FLIE questionnaire.  The questionnaire will be administered at baseline, then at the beginning of every cycle for 6 to 8 cycles of chemotherapy as per patient treatment protocol. 
Patients who become newly detected diabetes mellitus defined as FBS more than or equal to 126 mg/dL or HbA1c more than or equal to 6.5%  Patients who complete their treatment & remain steroid free for 6 months after completion of treatment will undergo fasting blood glucose, post prandial blood glucose, fasting insulin level & HbA1c testing at 12 months after enrollment.
