Abstract

This study shows a preserved diurnal BP profile and a normal BP level in the nondiabetic glucose-tolerant offspring of type 2 diabetic subjects compared with the offspring of nondiabetic subjects, although the offspring of diabetic patients are characterized by features of the metabolic syndrome.
