OBJECTIVE To determine whether serum uric acid predicts incident type 2 diabetes by glucose tolerance status in older community-dwelling adults. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Participants without diabetes at baseline were evaluated for incident type 2 diabetes 13 years later. Baseline glucose tolerance status was defined as normoglycemia, impaired fasting glucose, and impaired postchallenge glu...

BACKGROUND The incidence of childhood obesity and type 2 diabetes is an increasing problem in Europe. We determined the prevalence of impaired glucose regulation in a predominantly Caucasian cohort of 491 children and adolescents with obesity. METHODS Fasting glucose and insulin levels were determined in all 491 subjects. Patients with an abnormal fasting glucose or with additional risk facto...

BACKGROUND It is unknown if diabetic cats in remission have persistent abnormalities of glucose metabolism and should be considered prediabetic, or have normal glucose tolerance. OBJECTIVE To characterize glycemic status of diabetic cats in remission and to determine predictors of relapse. ANIMALS A total of 21 cats in diabetic remission and 28 healthy control cats. METHODS At a median of...

OBJECTIVE To determine the age- and sex-specific prevalence of impaired fasting glycemia, impaired glucose tolerance, screen-detected diabetes, and known diabetes in a Danish population aged 30-60 years and to examine the phenotype and the cardiovascular risk profile in individuals with impaired glucose regulation. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS In the Inter99 study, 13,016 inhabitants living in...
