Random capillary plasma glucose measurement in the screening of diabetes mellitus in high-risk subjects in Thailand
To assess the usefulness of random capillary plasma glucose (RCPG) measurement in screening for diabetes mellitus in high-risk subjects, a RCPG measurement and a 75-g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) were performed in 684 women and 164 men, aged 16–76 years (mean±SD: 41.9±11.3 years). Risk factors...

Zusammenfassung: | To assess the usefulness of random capillary plasma glucose (RCPG) measurement in screening for diabetes mellitus in high-risk subjects, a RCPG measurement and a 75-g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) were performed in 684 women and 164 men, aged 16–76 years (mean±SD: 41.9±11.3 years). Risk factors included family history of diabetes in first degree relatives (53.8%), obesity (BMI≥27 kg/m
2) in 37.9%, dyslipidemia (78.4%), hypertension, i.e. BP⩾140/90 mmHg (28.5%), and history of gestational diabetes mellitus (16.6%). According to the 1997 ADA/1998 WHO Consultation criteria for a full OGTT, 118 cases (13.9%) were found to have diabetes. Each of 19 cases with RCPG≥13.3 mmol/l had diabetes according to OGTT, 4.7% of 427 cases with RCPG |
