Results showed that glucose metabolism disturbances (diabetes mellitus
and impaired glucose tolerance) improved in 1/3 of the patients after
the intensive combined chelation treatment, a finding that we
attributed to a reduction in liver iron deposits.

Thalassaemic patients with haemocromatosis often present with metabolic
disturbances such as diabetes mellitus. A group of adult thalassaemic
patients who received intensive oral and subcutaneous chelation therapy
(Defferiprone/Ferriprox and Desferioxamine/Desferal) for a period of
24-36 months was studied for the presence of glucose metabolism
disturbances (GMD). Investigation of the prevalence of diabetes
mellitus (DM) and impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) was carried out by
yearly oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTT). Results showed that GMD (DM
and IGT) improved in 1/3 of the patients after the intensive combined
chelation treatment, a finding that we attributed to a reduction in
liver iron deposits. Although this study is still in progress we
believe that intensive combined chelation therapy may have a positive
effect on glucose metabolism.
