[Carbohydrate tolerance and behavior of insulin in the glucose infusion test in persons with normal weight with prediabetic suspicion].
In altogether 289 persons with normal weight with suspicion of the existence of a prestage of diabetes the 2 hour's glucose infusion test was carried out. In these cases 61% of the test persons showed a normal, 8% a critical, 26% a pathological and 5% a manifest diabetic metabolic condition. A reduction of the initial and late phase of the insulin secretion provable with deterioration of the carbohydrate tolerance must be regarded as cause of metabolic disturbances. The lack of a significant relation between diabetic heredofamiliality and carbohydrate tolerance indirectly refers to the importance of the environmental factors which on the basis of a genetic defect have a decisive influence of the morbidity caused by diabetes. The reduction of the initial phase which is provable already in potential diabetes, particularly clearly it is to be demonstrated in pathological and manifest diabetic metabolic situation, may be regarded as an early symptom of diabetes. Carbohydrate tolerance and preparation of insulin were reduced in decenniums of older age.
