Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus tends to increase year by year and it has a high morbidity and mortality, especially among those who have macro-vascular complication(s) as cardiovascular disease. There are many prevention efforts that have been done, especially primary prevention i.e. prevention of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus development. Impaired Glucose Tolerance (IGT) and Imparied Fasting Gycaemia (IF...

CONTEXT Cirrhosis, diabetes mellitus, impaired glucose tolerance, insulin resistance, and protein calorie malnutrition are important issues in cirrhotic patients because they can increase the progression of liver disease and worsen its prognosis. OBJECTIVE To determine the prevalence of diabetes mellitus, impaired glucose tolerance and insulin resistance in cirrhotic patients being evaluated ...

Objective: To ascertain the prevalence of abnormal glucose metabolism in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) but no previous diagnosis of diabetes mellitus (DM) and to examine the relation between the severity of CAD and responses of glucose and insulin to the glucose tolerance test. Methods and results: Abnormalities of glucose metabolism and insulin response were analysed in 144 patie...

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODSdOne-thousand two-hundred sixty-four individuals without known diabetes in the Diabetes Community Lifestyle Improvement Program in Chennai, India, had a 75-g oral glucose tolerance test, with glucose and insulinmeasured at 0, 30, and 120min. Type 2 diabetes, isolated impaired fasting glucose (iIFG), isolated impaired glucose tolerance (iIGT), combined impaired fasting...

The total prevalence of diabetes and impaired glucose tolerance in U.S. adults aged 20-74 years was obtained from medical history and oral glucose tolerance tests. Plasma glucose distributions, associations with selected medical, genetic, and clinical characteristics, and comparisons with prevalence in the 1976 National Health Interview Survey are also presented.

Hyperinsulinemia and Membrane Microviscosity of Erythrocytes as Risk Factors for Stroke in Patients With Impaired Glucose Tolerance To the Editor: We read with great interest the recent article by Dr Vermeer and colleagues1 dealing with the impaired glucose tolerance and stroke risk in nondiabetic patients with transient ischemic attack (TIA) or minor ischemic stroke. The results of their study...

OBJECTIVE To assess the relationship between dysglycemia and myocardial infarction in nondiabetic individuals. BACKGROUND Nondiabetic hyperglycemia may be an important cardiac risk factor. The relationship between myocardial infarction and glucose, insulin, abdominal obesity, lipids and hypertension was therefore studied in South Asians-a group at high risk for coronary heart disease and diab...
