Type 2 & other diabetes

Differences in target organ damage in individuals with intermediate hyperglycemia and type 2 diabetes identified by 1-hour plasma glucose during an oral glucose tolerance test

Diabetes Res Clin PractPublished Cross-sectional study

Authors' conclusion

The thresholds of 1-hour post-load glucose proposed by IDF as diagnostic criteria for IH and T2D are capable of detecting individuals at risk of cardiovascular target organ damage.

Study context

Population
Adults classified by fasting, 1-hour and 2-hour glucose during an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) according to the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) recommendation
Participants
1,847 adults
Exposure
Intermediate hyperglycemia (IH) and newly diagnosed T2D vs normal glucose tolerance (NGT), classified by fasting, 1-hour and 2-hour OGTT glucose (IDF criteria)
  • NGTn = 736reference
  • Isolated impaired fasting glucose (iIFG)n = 105
  • IHn = 676
  • T2Dn = 330
Outcome
Cardiovascular target organ damage: LVM index (LVMI) and myocardial mechano-energetic efficiency normalized by LVM (MEEi)

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

LVMI

IH vs NGT: P < 0.001 · T2D vs NGT: P < 0.001

Observational data: associations, not effects.
