Abstract

Abnormal glucose metabolism (AGM) is common but underestimated in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). Here, we reported 898 in-hospital patients with primary hypertension (PH) at the university hospitals in developed regions of China. Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was performed in those without known type-2 diabetes mellitus (2-DM). A total of 158 patients had known 2-DM and 32 were newly diagnosed as 2-DM by fasting blood glucose (FBG). OGTT revealed that 83 had 2-DM and 296 had impaired glucose tolerance (IGT). The proportion of 2-DM and AGM increased from 21.2 to 30.4% and from 57.5 to 68.7% upon OGTT. Prevalence of AGM and 2-DM increased with the increase of age, and incidence of AGM and 2-DM was significant higher in patients with risk factors (including CHD, overweight, hyperlipidaemia, proteinuria) than those without risk factors mentioned above. Glucose was not sufficiently controlled in 55.1% of the patients with 2-DM upon treatment, well controlled in 35.4% and not controlled in 9.5%. So AGM is also prevalent in PH patients especially the elders and those with risk factors, which was underestimated in most cases. Moreover, much lower awareness, treatment and control of 2-DM occurred in some regions of Chi...Continue Reading

Biomarkers for Type 2 Diabetes

Biomarkers can help understand chronic diseases and assist in risk prediction for prevention and early detection of diseases. Here is the latest research on biomarkers in type 2 diabetes, a disease in which the body is unable to produce or properly use insulin.
