All had oral glucose tolerance test, serum ferritin (SF), homeostasis model assessment (HOMA) and liver iron concentration (LIC) measurement. One hundred and twenty healthy age-matched controls were also used for the comparative purpose. Iron load was assessed by using SF and hepatic load by LIC using validated MRI techniques.Results: The 211 patients were divided into three groups according to their fasting and 2 hrs postprandial blood glucose levels: hypoglycemic, normal glucose tolerance (NGT) and hyperglycemic groups. In this study, 149 patients had NGT, 33 had hypoglycemia, 4 had diabetes and 25 had impaired glucose tolerance (IGT). None had impaired fasting glucose. There was a significant correlation between 2 hrs postprandial blood glucose levels and age, PINS120, HOMA-IR, alanine aminotransferase and LIC (P<0.05). Risk factors for IGT in NTDT patients were older age (≥24 years) and SF concentration of ≥2,500 ng/mL.Conclusion: Age ≥24 years and SF ≥2,500 ng/mL of NTDT patients were at a greater risk for impaired glucose tolerance.Keywords: glucose homeostasis, non-transfusion-dependent thalassemia, liver iron overload, post prandial hyperglycaemiaLuo YBajoria RLai YPan HLi QZhang ZYang PChatterjee RLiang YDove Medical Pressarticleglucose homeostasisNon-transfusion-dependent thalassemialiver iron overloadpost prandial hyperglycaemiaSpecialties of internal medicineRC581-951ENDiabetes, Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity: Targets and Therapy, Vol Volume 12, Pp 457-468 (2019)
