Diabetes Res Clin Pract. 2013 Aug;101(2):e7-10. doi: 10.1016/j.diabres.2013.06.007. Epub 2013 Jul 2.

Abstract

We compared cardiovascular and metabolic markers between undiagnosed and known diabetes among 3045 subjects who had voluntary health check and no cardiovascular disease. Subjects with undiagnosed diabetes had poorer profiles of these markers than those with known diabetes. Undiagnosed diabetes should be recognized as a condition with these risks.

Keywords: Cardiovascular disease; Metabolic markers; Undiagnosed diabetes.
