We investigated glucose tolerance and postprandial glucose fluxes immediately after a single bout of aerobic exercise in subjects representing the entire glucose tolerance continuum. Twenty-four men with normal glucose tolerance (NGT), impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), or type 2 diabetes (T2D; age: 56 ± 1 years; body mass index: 27.8 ± 0.7 kg/m(2), P > 0.05) underwent a 180-min oral glucose tol...

Current criteria for the diagnosis of diabetes c A1C $6.5%. The test should be performed in a laboratory using a method that is NGSP certified and standardized to the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT) assay; or c fasting plasma glucose (FPG) $126 mg/dL (7.0 mmol/L). Fasting is defined as no caloric intake for at least 8 h; or c 2-h plasma glucose $200 mg/dL (11.1 mmol/L) during an...

OBJECTIVE To examine whether impaired glucose tolerance and raised Lp(a) lipoprotein concentrations are associated in subjects with coronary artery disease. DESIGN Study of two subject populations, one with and one without symptomatic coronary artery disease. Case-control analysis of patients with impaired glucose tolerance and normal glucose tolerance performed in each subject population ind...

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...
