RESUMEN
AIMS: To compare conversion rates of diabetes in subjects with elevated 1â¯h plasma glucose (1hrPG) during an OGTT with normal glucose tolerance(NGT) subjects over a period of 11 years. METHODS: 4023 subjects were selected from electronic data base of medical records.233 subjects who were followed up for a period of 11 years were included.160 with isolated prediabetes and their combinations were excluded.The remaining 73 were categorized into group1 NGT (nâ¯=â¯37) and group-2 (nâ¯=â¯36) with elevated 1hrPG.Kaplan Meier curves for incident diabetes and Cox proportional hazard model were compared between groups. RESULTS: During follow up, 10.8% and 44.4% converted to DM in group1 and group2 (pâ¯=â¯0.003). Elevated 1hrPG was associated with incident diabetes(HR 7.9[95%CI 2.2-28.1](pâ¯=â¯0.001)provided better risk assessment.The adjusted risk of event in subjects with elevated 1hrPG is likely to be 7 times more when compared to NGT.Subjects with elevated1hrPG remained free of diabetes for a median period of 7.6 years (95% CI 5.8-7.8) whereas NGT subjects remained free for 10 years (95% CI 8.5-10.0) (pâ¯<â¯0.001). CONCLUSION: In conclusion, conversion to DM was higher and risk was 7 times more in subjects with elevated 1hrPG. Elevated 1hrPG during OGTT has to be considered as a distinct entity.
