(57) Abstract: A method for simply and accurately separating a non-diabetic patient from a diabetic patient including a preliminary group of diabetes using a sample separated from the patient. SOLUTION: The sample is treated without any pretreatment with an enzyme that degrades myo-inositol, degrades myo-inositol contained in the sample, measures the degradation product, and quantifies the myo-inositol content in the sample. By the quantitative value, Differentiate between normal type, prediabetes group (borderline type, impaired glucose tolerance, abnormal fasting blood glucose, insulin resistance) and diabetes. As the enzyme, dehydrogenase, kinase, oxidase and the like are used. |
