The National Diabetes Data Group (NDDG) of the National Institutes of Health in the United States has recently issued a report setting guidelines for the classification and diagnosis of diabetes mellitus and other forms of glucose intolerance. The report, intended to provide a uniform basis from which clinical and epidemiologic studies could be planned, and to serve as a guide for clinicians, is committed to the concept of avoiding overdiagnosis of diabetes and consequently expands the proportion of patients classified as having impaired glucose tolerance. The clinical and scientific section of the Canadian Diabetes Association has accepted the report in principle, anticipating that it may need to be modified in the light of future clinical experience and research findings. It is recommended that the NDDG and the expert committee of the World Health Organization be informed of this position and that the Canadian Diabetes Association offer to contribute to what will likely be periodic revision of the classification.
美国国立卫生研究院的国家糖尿病数据组（NDDG）最近发布了一份报告，为糖尿病及其他形式的葡萄糖耐量异常制定分类和诊断指南。该报告旨在为临床和流行病学研究规划提供统一依据，并作为临床医生的指导，致力于避免糖尿病的过度诊断这一理念，因此扩大了被归类为葡萄糖耐量受损患者的比例。加拿大糖尿病协会的临床与科学部门原则上接受了该报告，预计可能需要根据未来的临床经验和研究结果进行修改。建议将这一立场告知NDDG和世界卫生组织专家委员会，并且加拿大糖尿病协会主动提出为可能的分类定期修订做出贡献。
