title: Sugar metabolism in obese children.
abstract: In obese children the glucose tolerance curve results in high blood sugar values. A pathologic rise of the serum insulin level may occur even with normal blood sugar curves and the insulin levels tend to be higher in obesity of long standing. In obese children of families with diabetes, post-loading insulin levels were comparatively lower. It is suggested that this weaker insulin response is related to a prediabetic state.
