Background and Objectives: Being born small for gestational age (SGA) as well as growth hormone (GH) treatment are associated with a disturbed glucose-insulin metabolism. We aimed to investigate whether SGA patients have a higher risk of developing an impaired glucose-insulin metabolism under GH treatment in comparison to children with an isolated growth-hormone deficiency (iGHD), to children with obesity and a healthy control group.<str...
