Three different adult population groups in Mali were screened for diabetes mellitus by means of a post-prandial blood glucose determination. The prevalence of diabetes for the entire population sampled was found to be 1-4%. Diabetes mellitus was strongly suspected in an additional 8-4%. The prevalence of elevated post-prandial blood glucose levels was found to be the lowest (5-1%) among a group of Bambara farmers who live an active rural life and whose total daily caloric intake is less than 1,000 on the average, only half of it provided by carbohydrates.
通过餐后血糖测定，对马里的三个不同成年人群组进行了糖尿病筛查。在整个抽样人群中，糖尿病患病率为1%-4%。另有8%-4%的人群被高度怀疑患有糖尿病。研究发现，在一群班巴拉农民中，餐后血糖水平升高的患病率最低（5%-1%），他们过着积极的乡村生活，平均每日总热量摄入不足1000千卡，其中只有一半由碳水化合物提供。
