摘要
Many women who take an oral contraceptive have a disturbed carbohydrate metabolism which has been likened to the steroid diabetes seen during corticosteroid administration.1Although the metabolic changes are reversible in most women after they stop the contraceptive, long-term usage might increase the risk of clinical diabetes mellitus. We present the findings of two major prospective surveys of oral contraception in the United Kingdom—namely, the Royal College of General Practitioners’ study and the Oxford/Family Planning Association study—both of which began in 1968 and have been fully described elsewhere. © 1979, British Medical Journal Publishing Group.
