Introduction

The prevalence of obesity in the paediatric population has increased significantly in recent decades. To date, the rarest metabolic disturbance associated with obesity has been the hyperglycaemia, including diabetes. The aim of the study was to compare the prevalence of hyperglycaemic disorders diagnosed on the basis of (1) the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and (2) the HbA1c value, and to estimate the prevalence of hyperglycaemia in continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) records in adolescents with obesity.
