Abstract
SUMMARY:Our prospective survey of 50 ataxic patients confirms the previous finding of frequent clinical or chemical diabetes in Friedreich's ataxia. Eighteen percent of our typical cases have clinical diabetes and 40% at least an abnormal glucose tolerance curve. However, this finding does not appear to be specific to that form of ataxia. Furthermore, we have shown that most patients with ataxia have normal or low fasting insulin levels, but a hyperinsulinic response to a glucose load.
