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.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
