Elevated one-hour post-load plasma glucose levels identifies subjects with normal glucose tolerance but early carotid atherosclerosis

Abstract Objective To examine whether individuals with normal glucose tolerance (NGT), whose 1-h post-load plasma glucose is ≥155 mg/dl, or with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) have an increased carotid intima–media thickness (IMT), as compared with NGT individuals with 1-h post-load plasma
