Abstract
A sample of 3128 men and 4821 women of whom approximately half had a family history of type 2 diabetes FHD was categorised according to an OGTT NGT IFG IGT combined glucose intolerance and type 2 diabetes The homeostasis model assessment was used to determine insulin sensitivity and beta cell functionPrevalence of early abnormalities of glucose metabolism was two to three times higher in subjects with FHD and two to three times higher in men compared to women Both maternal and paternal heredity of type 2 diabetes were associated with an increased risk of having early abnormalities of glucose metabolism However in women with type 2 diabetes heredity on the father’s side seems to have less impact on an increased risk of having type 2 diabetes Both waist circumference and systolic blood pressure were increased in subjects with abnormalities of glucose homeostasis whereas insulin sensitivity and beta cell function were decreased Subjects with IFG had more pronounced impairment of beta cell function and insulin sensitivity than subjects with IGT
