Abstract

Objective To investigate the changes of carotid intimal-medial thickness(IMT) and brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity(baPWV) in patients with diabetes mellitus(DM),impaired glucose regulation(IGR) and normal subjects.Methods The IMT and baPWV were detected in 30 subjects with normal glucose tolerance(normal group),45 with IGR and 42 with diabetes DM.The baPWV was measured by automatic atherosclerosis assay instrument,IMT by echography.Analyzed these datas.Results With the worsing of abnormal glucose metabolism,from normal group,IGT to DM,both the carotid IMT and baPWV increased gradually(all P0.05).Conclusion During the earlier period of impaired glucose metabolism,baPWV and carotid IMT altered obviously.It is valuable for diagnosing atherosclerosis the artery complications of diabetes mellitus.
