The significance and interpretation of mildly abnormal oral glucose tolerance

Oral glucose tolerance testing.

The oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) is currently the gold standard for the diagnosis of diabetes. The recommended preparation for and administration of the OGTT are important to ensure that test results are not affected. Interpretation is based on venous plasma glucose results before and 2 hours after a 75 g oral glucose load.

Prediction of Glucose Tolerance without an Oral Glucose Tolerance Test

Introduction Impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) is diagnosed by a standardized oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). However, the OGTT is laborious, and when not performed, glucose tolerance cannot be determined from fasting samples retrospectively. We tested if glucose tolerance status is reasonably predictable from a combination of demographic, anthropometric, and laboratory data assessed at one ...

Hypoglycemia during the 100-g oral glucose tolerance test: incidence and perinatal significance.

OBJECTIVE To estimate and report the incidence and perinatal significance of hypoglycemia during the 100-g oral glucose tolerance test in pregnant women. METHODS Over a 3-year period, we analyzed the incidence and perinatal outcome of pregnant women who experienced hypoglycemia, defined as a plasma glucose level of 50 mg/dL or less while undergoing the 100-g oral glucose tolerance test. The s...
