Risk factors in the development of diabetes are various diseases of internal organs, especially those accompanied by inflammatory process.
We investigated insulin secretion and glucose tolerance in patients with chronic bronchitis and bronchial asthma. There were 29 patients under observation: 21 patients were diagnosed with chronic bronchitis and 8 with bronchial asthma. Glucose tolerance was determined in all patients (50 g of glucose orally). Blood glucose content was determined by orthotoluidine method on an empty stomach, as well as 1 and 2 hours after glucose intake. At the same time, basal immunoreactive insulin secretion was studied.
