Abstract
Diagnosing diabetes by shortening the OGTT to 1-h and substituting 1-h post-load glucose (PG) ≥ 209 mg/dL for 2-h PG≥200 mg/dL has been proposed. One-hour PG≥209 mg/dL is from a meta-analysis without any African-descent populations. Our data suggest 1-h PG≥183 mg/dL maybe more optimal for Africans. As with waist circumference guidelines, population-specific thresholds may be appropriate.
期刊介绍:
Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice is an international journal for health-care providers and clinically oriented researchers that publishes high-quality original research articles and expert reviews in diabetes and related areas. The role of the journal is to provide a venue for dissemination of knowledge and discussion of topics related to diabetes clinical research and patient care. Topics of focus include translational science, genetics, immunology, nutrition, psychosocial research, epidemiology, prevention, socio-economic research, complications, new treatments, technologies and therapy.
