One‐hour post‐load plasma glucose predicts progression to prediabetes in a multi‐ethnic cohort of obese youths

AIMS One‐hour post‐load hyperglycaemia has been proposed as an independent predictor of type 2 diabetes in adults. We examined whether 1‐hour plasma glucose (1hPG) during an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) can predict changes in the glucose tolerance status of a multi‐ethnic cohort of youths with normal glucose tolerance (NGT). Materials and methods A total of 202 obese youths with NGT (33.7% Caucasian, 31.1% Hispanic, 32.2% African American)...
