The Claim
Fasting glucose, oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) glucose, and the Matsuda index are strongly associated with the future development of type 2 diabetes in adults with cardiovascular risk.
What the research says
Not yet evaluated
We are still looking at what the research says.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
In adults with cardiovascular risk, higher fasting glucose, higher glucose levels after a sugar test, and lower insulin sensitivity measured by the Matsuda index are linked to a higher likelihood of developing type 2 diabetes within four years.
See the scientific wording
Fasting glucose, oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) glucose, and the Matsuda index are strongly associated with the future development of type 2 diabetes in adults with cardiovascular risk, as these biomarkers consistently emerged as top predictors in two machine learning models across a 4-year follow-up of 904 individuals, with 10% developing diabetes.
When cells in the body stop responding properly to insulin, the pancreas releases more insulin to compensate. Over time, the insulin-producing cells become overwhelmed and start to fail, causing blood sugar to rise after eating and even when fasting. This pattern of high blood sugar and poor insulin response is what predicts future diabetes.
What the research says
1 studyIn people at risk for heart disease, this study found that high fasting blood sugar, high blood sugar after drinking a sugary solution, and low insulin sensitivity were the top signs that someone might develop type 2 diabetes within four years.
