Glucose homeostasis and Αssessment of Β-cell function by 3-hour oral glucose tolerance (ogtt) in patients with Β-thalassemia major with serum ferritin below 1,000 ng/dl: results from a single icet-a centre

Conclusions: This study showed that efficient iron chelation monotherapy in patients with β-TM and SF< 1,000 ng/ml did not entirely prevent glucose metabolism disorders, insulin secretion and sensitivity, and development of acquired hypogonadism.
