Postchallenge plasma glucose excursions, carotid intima-media thickness, and risk factors for atherosclerosis in Chinese population with type 2 diabetes
Y Hu, W Liu, R Huang, X Zhang - Atherosclerosis, 2010 - Elsevier
AIMS: Isolated hyperglycemia is associated with atherosclerosis in individuals with type 2
diabetes, but the relationship between postchallenge glucose excursion and atherosclerosis
is less clear. This study examines the relationships between postchallenge glucose spikes
(PGS), carotid intima-media thickness (IMT), and traditional risk factors for atherosclerosis in
individuals with type 2 diabetes. METHODS: A total of 474 individuals with type 2 diabetes
who were within the highest or lowest IMT distribution quartile were included. The Student's t …
