✦ Synopsis

Two hundred and four men with impaired glucose tolerance (borderline diabetes) discovered in a screening examination have been observed for five years and repeated tests of glucose tolerance performed. By pre-determined criteria 27 men 'worsened to diabetes' and this metabolic deterioration was not significantly influenced by treatment with carbohydrate restriction with or without a daily dose of 50 mg phenformin. Of the baseline variables measured prior to treatment allocation only the blood glucose values were significantly predictive of ultimate worsening to diabetes.

In a 5-12 year follow-up study of 288 subjects with impaired glucose tolerance after a 100-g glucose load, 48 worsened to overt Type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes with the elevation of fasting blood glucose. The initial level of blood glucose was a major predictor of subsequent worsening to dia

Glycated haemoglobin could offer several practical advantages over the OGTT for assessing glucose metabolism. Initial cross-sectional studies (1983)(1984)(1985) on 381 subjects (mostly Pima Indians) described the relationship between HbAlc (a specific glycated Hb) and the OGTT. We performed follow-u
