Triamcinolone Provocative Test in Offspring of Two Diabetic Parents

Abstract
In fifty-five subjects, with two diabetic parents, and who had a previous normal glucose tolerance test, 67.2 per sent showed abnormalities when tested by a triamcinolone glucose tolerence test (54.5% abnormals and 12.7% suspicious). This result contrasted with an incidence of 1.6% abnormal tests and an additional 1.6% suspicious tests in a control group matched for age and sex. It is suggested that the triamcinolone provocative test be further employed in the search for diabetic tendencies in suspicious or likely subjects.
