Introduction: In this systematic review, we investigated the diagnostic accuracy of surrogate measures of insulin secretion based on fasting samples and the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). The first phase of insulin secretion was calculated using two gold standard methods; the hyperglycemic clamp (HGC) test and intravenous glucose tolerance test (IVGTT).
Research Design And Methods: We conducted searches in the PubMed, Cochrane Central, and Web of Science databases, the last of which was conducted at the end of June 2021.
Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to assess the prevalence of atherosclerosis in coronary and carotid arteries among individuals with prediabetes and diabetes compared to those without diabetes, involving over 30,000 participants aged 50-64.
- - The findings revealed that participants with prediabetes or diabetes had significantly higher levels of coronary artery plaque, stenosis, and calcium scores compared to normoglycaemic individuals, indicating a greater cardiovascular risk.
- - Notably, the prevalence of coronary atherosclerosis was highest in those with known diabetes, while both prediabetic and diabetic participants showed increased plaque in carotid arteries compared to normoglycaemic individuals.
Introduction: With pre-diabetes and diabetes increasingly recognized as heterogeneous conditions, assessment of beta-cell function is gaining clinical importance to identify disease subphenotypes. Our study aims to comprehensively validate all types of surrogate indices based on oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and fasting measurements in comparison with gold standard methods.
Research Design And Methods: The hyperglycemic clamp extended with glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) infusion and intravenous glucose tolerance test (IVGTT), as well as OGTT, was performed in two well-phenotyped cohorts.
One way to increase physical activity in offices is to install treadmill workstations, where office workers can walk on a treadmill while performing their normal tasks. However, the experiences of people using these treadmill workstations over a long period of time is not known. In this 13-month study, we explored the experiences of office workers with treadmill workstations available in their offices.

We therefore investigated whether treadmill workstations in offices increased daily walking time.
Methods: We did a randomised controlled trial of healthy office workers who were either overweight or obese.
