Hyperglycaemia and diabetes mellitus.

R J Jarrett, H Keen

    Lancet (London, England)
    |November 6, 1976
    PubMed
    Summary

    Current diabetes diagnostic criteria lack long-term data. High blood sugar levels (over 200 mg/dl) indicate diabetic complications, while borderline cases pose atherosclerotic risks.

    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Epidemiology
    • Cardiovascular Medicine

    Background:

    • Diagnostic criteria for maturity-onset diabetes mellitus (MODM) using glucose tolerance tests (GTT) are inconsistent.
    • Existing criteria are not based on long-term observations of glucose intolerance progression.
    • Epidemiological data suggest specific complication risks emerge at defined blood sugar thresholds.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the relationship between glucose intolerance severity and long-term health outcomes.
    • To inform diagnostic criteria for diabetes and borderline glucose intolerance.
    • To assess the risk of atherosclerotic arterial disease in individuals with varying degrees of glucose intolerance.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of epidemiological data on glucose tolerance tests and subsequent health outcomes.
    • Identification of capillary whole-blood sugar concentration thresholds associated with diabetic complications.
    • Evaluation of risk factors for arterial disease in individuals with borderline glucose intolerance.

    Main Results:

    • Diabetic complications are primarily associated with 2-hour post-load capillary whole-blood sugar concentrations exceeding 200 mg/dl and fasting levels over 110 mg/dl.
    • Lesser degrees of glucose intolerance may be linked to an increased risk of atherosclerotic arterial disease.
    • Assessment of borderline diabetics requires consideration of other arterial disease risk factors.

    Conclusions:

    • Current diagnostic criteria for diabetes may need refinement based on long-term outcome data.
    • Individuals with borderline glucose intolerance face additional risks for atherosclerotic arterial disease.
    • Treatment strategies for borderline diabetics should integrate glycaemia levels with other cardiovascular risk factors.
