Blood glucose screening results, obtained using 2 different screening procedures, are repoted from 2 occupational groups. Post-prandial blood glucose levels were measured in 3346 subjects aged 45 yr or more employed by the Greater London Council/Inner London Education Authority. In women, mean blood glucose levels were higher in the afternoon than the morning (P < 0.05). Centile levels (95th) were substantially higher in the afternoon in both sexes, though the differences were not constant in all age and sex sub-groups. In both sexes mean glucose levels were highest in the winter (Dec.-Feb., inclusive), but seasonal variation did not significantly affect the proportion exceeding the 95th centile for the total population. In the Whitehall study, the blood glucose was measured in men, in the morning, 2 h after a 50 g glucose load. Significant seasonal variation in mean blood glucose values occurred, with highest values in winter and lowest in spring (March-May, inclusive). There was no significant difference by season in the proportions exceeding the arbitrary cut-off levels of 7.8 and 11.1 mmol/l.
