Abstract

In our children, the prevalence of IFG is higher than that reported in other European cohorts, whereas T2D is rare. IFG appears not useful to detect IGT in childhood. Paediatric diagnostic cut-points, glucose load and timing of sampling need to be further validated to define glucose abnormalities in obese children that, compared with normal weight subjects, already are characterised by a different metabolic phenotype.
