Adult patients with cystic fibrosis (APCF) are at high risk of developing impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and CF-related diabetes (CFRD) and thus an annual screening with a 2-h oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) is recommended. This population would greatly benefit from a simplified and harmless alternative to the standard OGTT. Thus, we aimed to compare the diagnostic values of HbA1c and glycemias at interval time points during the 2-h OGTT for IGT and CFRD detection in APCF. To do so, we conducted a cross-sectional analysis of 194 APCF with normal fasting plasma glucose values (≤7.0 mmol·L−1) who underwent a 2-h OGTT. Receivers operating characteristic area under the curves (ROC-AUC) were analyzed to assess the diagnostic value of HbA1c and intermediate OGTT glycemias using 2-h OGTT glycemia as reference. For both IGT and CFRD diagnoses, ROC-AUC values obtained from glycemia at 90 min were significantly higher than HbA1c and remaining intermediate glycemias (p < 0.001). The best 90-min OGTT cut-off values for these diagnoses were >9.3 mmol·L−1 (IGT) and ≥11.5 mmol·L−1 (CFRD). A 90-min OGTT glycemia might be a simplified alternative to 2-h OGTT glycemia for earlier glucose tolerance abnormalities diagnosis in APCF. This finding should be confirmed in other APCF cohorts and its predictive value should be established prospectively.

Background: Diabetes is an important chronic disease both in terms of prevalence and associated morbidity and early mortality. Mortality rates in diabetics are two- to threefold higher than those without diabetes. Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus is preceded by a period of abnormal glucose homeostasis and hence early diagnosis is important in decreasing this morbidity and mortality. The oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) is currently the gold standard for the diagnosis of diabetes.Methods: This cross sectional single observer study was conducted amongst all the undergraduate students and interns of a municipal medical college to assess the point prevalence of impaired glucose tolerance and the factors predisposing to the same. After necessary permissions, participants giving written informed consent were interviewed and participants were subjected to an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and their heights, weights were measured.Results: None of the participants had an increased fasting blood glucose but 30 min, 60 min and 90 min post OGTT blood glucose levels were increased in 9 (11.84%) participants and 120 min post OGTT blood glucose was increased in 15 (19.73%) participants. Increase in Body Mass Index (BMI) shows a positive correlation with fasting (r=0.155) and 120 min post OGTT blood glucose (r=0.042). Increase in weekly junk food servings shows a positive correlation with fasting (r=0.014), 90 min (r=0.004) and 120 min post OGTT blood glucose (r=0.009).Conclusions: Impaired glucose tolerance was present in a substantial number of non-diabetic students and had a correlation with BMI, exercise and junk food intake.

ObjectiveTo determine the prevalence and predictors of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in rural Assam, India using a network of Mobile Medical Units.Study designA field-based cross-sectional study.SettingsRural areas of Assam state, India.ParticipantsA total of 1410 pregnant women in gestational age of 24–28 weeksInterventionIdentification of pregnant women in 24–28 weeks of pregnancy from villages and administering them Government of India recommended oral glucose tolerance test for GDM confirmation.Primary and secondary outcome measuresPresence of gestational diabetes among pregnant women, risk factors and predictors of GDM.ResultsA total of 1212 pregnant women underwent the oral glucose tolerance test. One hundred and ninety-eight women were ineligible due to existing chronic diseases or very high blood glucose level before the test. The overall GDM prevalence in Assam was 16.67% (95% CI 14.61% to 18.89%). Women aged 26–30 years (adjusted odds ratio, aOR 1.70; CI 1.14 to 2.52), who passed 10th class (aOR 1.58; CI 1.05 to 2.37), belonging to Muslim religion (aOR 1.52; 95% CI 1.05 to 2.21) and above poverty line (aOR 1.38; 95% CI 1.00 to 1.91) had significantly increased likelihood of developing GDM compared with respective baseline groups (p<0.05). Body mass index, gravida and being non-anaemic were non-significant risk factors for GDM. Family history of diabetes (aOR 1.82; 95% CI 1.08 to 3.06) and smoking (aOR 1.61; 95% CI 1.10 to 2.35) were significant and independent predictors of GDM.ConclusionThe prevalence of GDM in rural Assam is high. The mobile medical units may play a significant role in the implementation of GDM screening, diagnosis, treatment to ensure better maternal and foetal health outcomes in rural Assam.
