The purpose of this study was to identify the cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors or combinations of risk factors which were associated with undiagnosed and diagnosed diabetes mellitus. The National Health and Nutrition Exam Survey (NHANES), 1999-2004 was used to study predictors associated with CVD and plasma blood glucose category. A national sample of adults aged 20 and over (N=5258) with plasma blood glucose values was assessed. SAS was used to perform the weighted analyses. This sample included 50.23% men and 49.77% women. Fifty-five (55.76%) percent of the subjects were Non-Hispanic White, 19.51 % were Non-Hispanic Black, and 24.72% were Mexican American. The mean age was 46.64 year old. Thirty-nine (39.54%) percent of the sample had elevated glucose (≥ 100 mg/dl). There were 30.77% of the subjects who had pre-diabetes and 8.77% with provisional diagnosis of diabetes. Thirty-seven (39.77%) percent Non-Hispanic Whites, 31.77% Non-Hispanic Blacks, and 45.15% Mexican Americans had elevated glucose. When gender and ethnicity were used with the logistic regression model, waist circumference, systolic blood pressure and triglycerides were significant in predicting plasma blood glucose category. A model based on the demographic gender found waist circumference, high cholesterol, and diagnosed hypertension were significant predictors. Men were more likely than women to have elevated glucose. The significant findings were discussed and recommendations for further research were presented.

Postprandial glucose levels tied to CVD risk in type 2 diabetes.: An article from: Family Practice News

Maintaining good blood glucose levels can reduce your risk of heart disease and stroke. Researchers from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in Baltimore in the US studied more than 11000 adults who did not have a history of diabetes or cardiovascular disease Fasting glucose and HbA1c levels were measured after 14 yeas to determine risk. The results published in the New England Journal of Medicine showed HbA1c levels were a strong predictor of diabetes, heart disease and stroke risk. Those with HbA1c levels around six per cent were almost twice as likely to have diabetes, a 23 per cent increased risk of coronary heart disease and a 17 per cent increased risk of stroke. Those over 6.5 per cent were more than 16 times more likely to have diabetes, and had almost double the risk of coronary heart disease and triple the risk of stroke. The researchers note that while the new American Diabetes Association (ADA) recommendations specify an HbA1c of 6.5 per cent or greater be used to diagnose diabetes, anyone with an HbA1c between 5.7 and 6.5 per cent should be targeted for lifestyle intervention and should be screened for cardiovascular risk factors.
