[The provoked-hyperglycemia test. Follow-up after two years of 94 cases with doubtful results (author's transl)]. / Epreuves d'hyperglycémie provoquée douteuses. Leur évolution à moyen terme. A propos de 94 cas.

ABSTRACT

A retrospective study of 94 patients, who had had doubtful results in the oral provoked-hyperglycemia test, was made after an average period of 23 months. It was found that 26 patients were diabetic, 34 were normal and 34 were still doubtful. The factors which influence the evolution of these cases are the sex, a family history of diabetes (before 60 years of age), and the return to normal weight of obese patients.
