[Active detection of glucose tolerance disorders among populations with diabetes mellitus risk factors].

The authors carried out studies of carbohydrate metabolism, C-peptide, immunoreactive insulin, T3, T4 and cholesterol in children and adolescents at risk for diabetes mellitus. Based on the data obtained it is concluded that disturbed glucose tolerance and diabetes mellitus mostly occur in the groups of subjects who suffered viral infections, in those with obesity and other conditions. The established parameters of glycemia can be used for assessing glycemia standards, which is of importance for early diagnosis of diabetes mellitus and disturbed glucose tolerance.
