title: [Diagnosis of type 2 diabetes in general practice].
abstract: Among 285 patients seen in general practice, all over the age of 40, 11 (4%) new cases of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus was diagnosed. 12 patients (4%) were found to have impaired glucose tolerance. Measurement of glucose levels in unstandardized blood samples is a suitable method of screening for non-insulin-dependent diabetes in general practice. In order to reduce the number of oral glucose tolerance tests we suggest a modification of WHO guidelines.
