Prediction of diabetes with body mass index, oral glucose tolerance test and islet cell autoantibodies in a regional population
Objective. Our aim was to test the hypothesis that a combination of markers for Type 1 diabetes (glutamate decarboxylase and IA-2 autoantibodies) and for Type 2 diabetes [oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and body mass index (BMI)], would predict clinical diabetes in a regional population. Design. A population-based follow-up cohort study. Setting. Participants visited the primary health care cen
