Modification of Response to the Triamcinolone Glucose Tolerance Test by Treatment with Oral Hypoglycemic Agents Victoriano

Abstract
From 67 to 87% of the abnormal triamcinolone glucose tolerance curves are improved after treatment with small doses of hypoglycemic drugs. As the weight reducing diet normalized only 6.6% of the abnormal triamcinolone curves, it is possible to conclude that weight reduction alone is not enough to normalize this test. The incidence of obstetrical complications (macrosomias, miscarriages, stillbirths, habitual abortion, and congenital malformations) in women with an abnormal triamcinolone test decreases remarkably or disappears after normalization of this test.
