TL;DR
The data show that isolated post-challenge hyperglycaemia, which can only be identified by the 2-h glucose, is common, and at least doubles the mortality risk, and should be considered in the design of screening programmes that use only fasting glucose.
Abstract
These data show that isolated post-challenge hyperglycaemia, which can only be identified by the 2-h glucose, is common, and at least doubles the mortality risk. This should be considered in the design of screening programmes that use only fasting glucose.

437 Citations1982R. J. Jarrett, Peter McCartney +1 more
It is concluded that borderline diabetes (or impaired glucose tolerance) is associated with a relatively greater increase in mortality risk in women than men.
Diabetes CareIsolated Postchallenge Hyperglycemia and the Risk of Fatal Cardiovascular Disease in Older Women and Men: The Rancho Bernardo Study
372 Citations1998Elizabeth Barrett‐Connor, Assiamira Ferrara
Diabetes defined by IPH alone is common in older adults and more than doubles the risk of fatal CVD and heart disease in older women and men and should be reevaluated.
DiabetologiaTen-year cardiovascular mortality in relation to risk factors and abnormalities in lipoprotein composition in Type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) diabetic and non-diabetic subjects
358 Citations1993Matti Uusitupa, Leo Niskanen +3 more
Results indicate that LDL triglycerides and/or other changes in lipoprotein composition characteristic of Type 2 diabetes and manifesting as elevated serum triglycerides are atherogenic and they strongly predict increased cardiovascular mortality.
BMJWill new diagnostic criteria for diabetes mellitus change phenotype of patients with diabetes? Reanalysis of European epidemiological data
352 Citations1998DECODE Study Group
A shift in strategy from using 2 hour to fasting plasma glucose will cause an increase in the prevalence of diabetes in some European populations and a high degree of disagreement in the classification was observed between the two recommendations.

319 Citations1991Scot E. Moss, Ronald Klein +1 more
Diabetic persons experience very high mortality, especially from vascular diseases, compared to the general population, and age-sex standardized mortality ratios in a geographically defined population of younger onset and older onset diabetic persons are examined.

Results suggest possible benefit to the control of glycemia with respect to death due to vascular disease and diabetes.

206 Citations1983Paul Zimmet, Richard Taylor +5 more
The results in Melanesians confirm previously reported rural-urban diabetes prevalence differences, and suggest that factors other than obesity, such as differences in physical activity, diet, stress, or other, as yet undetermined, factors contribute to this difference.

The high prevalence of abnormal glucose tolerance in Indian subjects is consistent with studies of other migrant Indian communities, but the findings in Creole and, in particular, Chinese subjects are unexpected.

178 Citations1998Patricia Wahl, Peter J. Savage +4 more
There was a significant difference in the prevalence of diabetes identified by the WHO diagnostic criteria based on oral glucose-tolerance test and the ADA fasting criteria among elderly individuals, Consequently, many individuals currently classified as non-diabetic according to ADA criteria would previously have had a diagnosis of diabetes according to WHO criteria.

155 Citations1998Femmie de Vegt, Joost Dekker +4 more
Both sets of criteria diagnosed a similar number of diabetic subjects, but many of the subjects shifted between glucose intolerance categories, and subjects carrying an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, as reflected by an adverse cardiovascular risk profile, will be missed.
American Journal of EpidemiologyPost-Challenge Glucose Concentration, Impaired Glucose Tolerance, Diabetes, and Cancer Mortality in Men
118 Citations1992George Davey Smith, Matthias Egger +2 more
A role for asymptomatic hyperglycemia in the etiology of cancer is not supported by the results of the present study, and there was no association between post-load glucose and cancer mortality, except for pancreatic cancer.

105 Citations1990William Levine, Alan R. Dyer +3 more
The associations between baseline post-load plasma glucose levels and cancer mortality were similar for earlier and later cancer deaths, which indicates that incipient or occult neoplasm at baseline was not responsible for elevated glucose levels in men who subsequently died of cancer.

97 Citations1992Jari Stengård, Jaakko Tuomilehto +5 more
Diabetes mellitus is a significant determinant of mortality among elderly Finnish men and resulted in an increased risk of cardiovascular mortality among men aged 65–74 years but not among the 75–84-year-old men.

84 Citations1984Paul Zimmet, H. King +6 more
A population survey in 1982 has confirmed that Nauruan adults suffer from an extremely high prevalence of Type 2 (noninsulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus, and prevalence of retinopathy was substantially higher in diabetic patients than either normal subjects or those with impaired glucose tolerance.

79 Citations1998S. V P Koskinen, Antti Reunanen +2 more
Diabetes is a general risk factor for untimely death and makes a significant contribution to overall national death rates, particularly for circulatory diseases, and lower than average mortality from smoking-related diseases and alcohol poisoning warrant optimism about the effects of health education among diabetic persons.

59 Citations1982Katsuhiko Yano, Abraham Kagan +2 more
Age-adjusted mortality for death from all causes, cardiovascular disease, coronary heart disease and causes other than cardiovascular disease and cancer were significantly higher in men with glucose intolerance, defined by either medication for diabetes or 1-hour post-load serum glucose levels above the 90th percentile cut-point at baseline examination, than in normoglycemic men.
