Oral glucose tolerance test and the preparatory diet

American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 2000
A 3-day diet containing at least 150 g carbohydrate per day has been used in many centers in preparation for the oral glucose tolerance test. The preparatory diet is thought to reduce false-positive diagnoses of gestational diabetes. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the necessity of a 3-day preparatory diet containing > or =150 g carbohydrate ...

The Oral Glucose Tolerance test in the Young Pig

British Veterinary Journal, 1971
SUMMARY Twenty-one oral glucose tolerance tests were performed on young pigs using a 20 per cent solution of glucose as a test meal at a dose of 1·5 g/kg bodyweight. The resulting curves were similar to those of man and dog.

Oral Sodium Tolbutamide And Glucose Tolerance Tests

Archives of Internal Medicine, 1965
AN ORAL MODIFICATION of the intravenous tolbutamide test originally devised by Unger and Madison 1 has been described by Boshell, 2 and tentative criteria for the diagnosis of diabetes established in presumed normal and known diabetic subjects. This test, in which 2.0 gm of sodium tolbutamide are administered orally in rapidly dissolving tablets along ...

An audit of oral glucose tolerance test requests

Medical Journal of Australia, 1990
Requests for 1862 randomly selected oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTT) were reviewed in a general pathology practice. In non-pregnant patients, only 76% of OGTT requests were for the standard 2-hour OGTT. In pregnant patients, 21% of referrals were for the standard 2-hour OGTT, 75% were for a 1-hour screening test following a 50-g oral glucose load, 1%

Significance of the Flat Oral Glucose Tolerance Test

Postgraduate Medicine, 1971
A flat blood sugar response to the oral glucose tolerance test has long been accepted as an implication of impaired intestinal absorption of carbohydrate. However, this study indicates that the flat response is a normal variant and depends on how the test is performed and when the blood is sampled. It also is conjectured that the carbohydrate challenge

Oral Glucose Tolerance Test in Normal Children

Diabetes, 1967
Glucose tolerance tests were performed on 200 healthy children, ranging in age from one to thirteen years, without a family history of diabetes. Those children past the age of six had higher blood sugar values at all points in the test, but significant differences were found only at fasting and at one-half hour.

The “muffin test”—an alternative to the oral glucose tolerance test for detecting impaired glucose tolerance

Menopause, 2012
The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of the "muffin test" (MT) with that of the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) in diagnosing impaired glucose tolerance (IGT).This is a cross-sectional study in a single academic institution. The participants were 73 women aged 42 to 58 years, less than 36 months after menopause, recruited for the ...

Oral Glucose Tolerance Test in Pregnancy

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, 1984
Abstract. After initial screening for gestational diabetes, 182 3‐hour OGTTs in altogether 168 patients with determination of plasma glucose at 30‐minute intervals were performed. Two‐hour and 3‐hour areas below the curve were calculated. Twenty‐two patients had a reduced glucose tolerance test as judged by the 3‐hour areas.

Oral Glucose Tolerance Test: Indications and Limitations

Mayo Clinic Proceedings, 1988
The oral glucose tolerance test has been used in many clinical situations. From a practical standpoint, however, it has limited applicability. The test should never be done to evaluate reactive hypoglycemia. It can be used in the patient whose fasting plasma glucose level is less than 140 mg/dl but who manifests symptoms compatible with complications ...

Oral glucose tolerance testing.

Australian family physician, 2012
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.
