Oral Glucose Tolerance Test

The oral glucose tolerance test OGTT has for many years been the accepted standard for the diagnosis of diabetes. It is, however, time consuming and inconvenient requiring considerable preparation. Many would therefore regard it as unsuitable for widespread use among people with risk factors for diabetes. Unless conducted in the inpatient setting, the recent dietary intake and duration of the pre-test fast cannot be standardised in the way the protocol demands, and these factors can affect the...

Early Diabetes Intervention Trial EDIT EDIT is a six-year, prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled study in subjects with two consecutive fasting plasma glucose levels in the range 5.5-7.7 mmol L 100-139 mg dl . Nine UK clinical centers have recruited 631 subjects. The primary aim of the trial is to determine whether deterioration in glycemic tolerance towards diabetes can be delayed or prevented using the alpha-glucosidase inhibitor acarbose or the biguanide metformin, in a 2 x 2 factorial...

Autoantibodies

A number of circulating autoantibodies to islet cell markers may be detected at diagnosis of type 1 diabetes. Indeed, current classification of diabetes uses the presence of autoantibodies to define type 1 diabetes or autoimmune diabetes the exception being those individuals prone to ketoacidosis but without antibodies, classified as type 1 idiopathic 33. The autoantibodies include cytoplasmic islet cell antibodies ICA , insulin autoantibodies IAA , and antibodies directed against glutamic acid...
