| Popis: | Three different adult population groups in Mali were screened for diabetes mellitus by means of a post-prandial blood glucose determination. The prevalence of diabetes for the entire population sampled was found to be 1·4%. Diabetes mellitus was strongly suspected in an additional 8· 4%. The prevalence of elevated post-prandial blood glucose levels was found to be the lowest (5·1%) among a group of Bambara farmers who live an active rural life and whose total daily caloric intake is less than 1,000 on the average, only half of it provided by carbohydrates. |
