Diurnal variation in oral glucose tolerance was studied in 122 male volunteers aged 40 yearsand over who participated in a screening health examination. In those with screening blood sugar levels exceeding 110 mg./100 ml. the degree of diurnal variation was least in those with the highest morning glycaemia; the latter also tended to have lower afternoon fasting bloodsugar levels.In a group of 40 control subjects, afternoon glucose tolerance tests yielded significantly higher post-glucose blood sugar levels. The degree of diurnal variation was significantly and inversely related to the degree of obesity.
对122名年龄在40岁及以上参加健康筛查的男性志愿者进行了口服葡萄糖耐量的日变化研究。在筛查血糖水平超过110毫克/100毫升的人群中,日变化程度在早晨血糖最高的人群中最小;后者下午空腹血糖水平也往往较低。在一组40名对照受试者中,下午葡萄糖耐量试验产生的葡萄糖后血糖水平显著更高。日变化程度与肥胖程度显著负相关。
