Pancreatic Islet Function, Insulin Sensitivity, and Chronic Complications in Pre-Diabetes
- Conditions
- Prediabetic StateObesityMetabolic Syndrome X
- Registration Number
- NCT00172796
- Lead Sponsor
- National Taiwan University Hospital
- Brief 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.
