“…However, as a high GA-LCV level, along with a high GA-M level, is largely accompanied by wide fluctuations in other parameters, at least in HD patients, it could also be a manifestation of diverse (not necessarily diabetes-related) types of organ/tissue damages and accompanying physiological dysregulation. This interpretation is compatible with the presence of impaired glucose tolerance in patients with various chronic diseases [31][32][33] as well as frail elderly 34 . Furthermore, it explains why dysglycemia in critically ill patients is associated with a high mortality and why strict glycemic control has a minimal effect on their prognosis 35 .…”

“…These results are consistent with literature [15][16][17]. The national prevalence of diabetes in Cameroon was 6.5% in 2015; this high frequency in patients with chronic C viral hepatitis is due to HCV-induced insulin resistance [21,22]. The median pre-therapeutic viral load was 1,183,000 IU/ mL and 58.2% of patients had a high viral load (≥ 800,000).…”

“…In our study, we observed 27.3% of HCV patients with impaired fasting glucose at baseline, whereas 11.3% of HCV patients developed IFG during 24 weeks of anti-viral therapy. Previous studies also suggested that HCV patients were more susceptible to developing insulin resistance (21) and impaired glucose tolerance (22). Therefore, our results reinforced the evidence that chronic HCV infection and diabetes were inter-related.…”
