Objective: To evaluate the prevalence of newly diagnosed prediabetes, diabetes mellitus among the officers from Phuoc Long district of Binh Phuoc province. Subjects and methods: 268 personals communications service was examined the impaired fasting glucose (G0); impaired glucose tolerance (G2) anh HbA1c. Results: Prevalence of prediabetes, type 2 diabetes mellitus by G0, G2, HbA1c as follows 16,0%; 13,1%; 17,9% and 3,8%; 6,7%; 2,2%. Common prevalence of prediabetes in 26,9%; type 2 diabetes mellitus in 7,1%. Conclusion: Personal communications service from Phuoc Long district have percentage of prediabetes higher compared to type 2 diabetes mellitus which of prediabetes was diagnosed by HbA1c which takes up the highest percentage; diabetes mellitus was diagnosed by G2which takes up the highest percentage.

Gh Treatment

OBJECTIVE: Excessive GH secretion may lead to secondary diabetes mellitus, while prolonged GH treatment may accelerate the onset of type 2 diabetes mellitus in predisposed individuals. Turner's syndrome (TS) patients are a population at risk since they have reduced glucose tolerance (GT) spontaneously and because they are usually treated with high doses of GH. DESIGN AND METHODS: The aim of the study was to evaluate insulin sensitivity (IS) and glucose tolerance (GT) in a group of TS patients treated with GH for a period of 6 years. Forty-seven TS girls were included in the study. GH was administered at a mean weekly dosage of 0.35 mg/kg, injected subcutaneously over 6-7 days. GT was assessed according to the criteria of the Expert Committee on the Diagnosis and Classification of Diabetes Mellitus. IS was evaluated with the quantitative insulin sensitivity check index (QUICK-I). RESULTS: No significant increase of impaired GT was observed in the patients during the follow-up period, while a reduced IS was detected. IS in TS patients was already lower than in prepubertal controls (P<0.001) before starting treatment and further decreased during the first year of therapy (P<0.05), and then remained stable over the following years. No correlation was found between QUICK-I, body mass index, years of treatment, onset and duration of puberty. One patient became diabetic during the course of treatment. CONCLUSIONS: GH treatment in TS girls does not significantly increase the prevalence of impaired GT or type 2 diabetes mellitus, while it does, however, decrease IS.
