  1. changes in fasting blood glucose (FBG) in tuberculosis (TB) patients before and during anti-TB treatment,

  2. whether FBG levels were stable or unstable

  3. baseline characteristics associated with an unstable FBG.

TB patients consecutively attended 6 clinics or hospitals. FBG measurements were made at months 0, 2 and 6. Data analysis was performed using the chi-square test and multivariate logistic regression.

This research was supported by the UK Department for International Development鈥檚 Operational Research Capacity Building Programme led by the International Union Against TB and Lung Disease (皇冠体育app Union)
