Oral glucose effectiveness and metabolic risk in obese children and adolescents

To investigate whether GE is affected in children/adolescents with obesity and abnormalities of the metabolic syndrome (MetS). Cross-sectional study of oral GE (oGE), insulin sensitivity and secretion (calculated on 5 time-points oral glucose tolerance test) and metabolic abnormalities in 1012 patients with overweight/obesity (aged 6.0–17.9 years old). A MetS risk score was calculated on the basis of distribution of fasting glucose,...
