A pilot study will be done on 20 patients with abnormal glucose tolerance which will include:
A-Continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS) : A glucometer will be given to each patient and will be asked to measure blood glucose before meals and snacks and record the valus in the CGMS for better calibration (Khammar A et al., 2009).
B-Therapeutic intervention:
Thalassemia patients who proved to have diabetes according to the ADA criteria will be put on sc insulin
