Pancreatic Islet Function, Insulin Sensitivity, and Chronic Complications in Pre-Diabetes

NCT00172796 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL

Last updated 2006-03-30

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

We, the investigators at National Taiwan University Hospital, want to compare patients' islet cell function, insulin sensitivity and risk of chronic complications with normal subjects. Moreover, we want to examine whether they are at a higher risk of having metabolic syndrome and to answer whether we should screen the phenotypes of metabolic syndrome in impaired fasting glucose (IFG) and impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) patients. Then, we want to examine the association between insulin sensitivity and islet functions.
