Summary

Retrospective cohort of all the patients with elevated blood sugar (but no Diabetes) attending the study sites from 2002 to 2007. We retrieval their records to see how many of them actually developed diabetes. The patient's record will be followed up to 6 years after their first abnormally high blood sugar checked. We will measure their parameters including sex, age, pay code and whether they have hypertension or not to see what factors will increase risk of DM development.

Detailed description

We aim at find out the progression of impaired fasting glucose (IFG) to type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) among patients in general practice setting. We can understand the progress of the target patients so as to improve patient education, improve patient motivation in lifestyle modification.We are going to find out the annual incidence of Type 2 DM developement among the patients with and without hypertension Hypertensive patients with impaired fasting glucose are more likely to develop type 2 diabetes mellitus compare with normal tensive patients
