The availability of afternoon glucose tolerance test for the diagnosis of diabetes mellitus was investigated. Fifty grams glucose tolerance test was performed twice in 52 patients of various diseases, i.e., one test was made in the morning and another was done in the afternoon after taking an ordinary break fast alone. No significant difference was seen between the two tests. Hence, we can use ...

The objective of this study was to determine the optimal conditions under which to assess glucose tolerance in chow- and high-fat-fed C57BL/6J mice. Mice were fed either chow or high-fat diet for 8 wk. Variables tested were fasting duration (0-, 3-, 6-, and 24-h and overnight fasting), route of administration (intraperitoneal vs. oral) load of glucose given (2, 1, or 0.5 g/kg and fixed 50-mg do...

Response of middle-aged men to loo-gram and 50-gram doses of glucose given fasting and 1, 2, and 3 hours after meal. PREFACE This is one of several studies designed to evaluate examination procedures used in the first cycle of the Health ESamination Survey. These studies constitute efforts to define and to measure some of the components of variation in the examination techniques. Where the tech...

CONTEXT Cirrhosis, diabetes mellitus, impaired glucose tolerance, insulin resistance, and protein calorie malnutrition are important issues in cirrhotic patients because they can increase the progression of liver disease and worsen its prognosis. OBJECTIVE To determine the prevalence of diabetes mellitus, impaired glucose tolerance and insulin resistance in cirrhotic patients being evaluated ...

Hyperglycaemia is necessary for the diagnosis of diabetes. For more than 35 years there has been a spirited controversy about the diagnostic criteria for Type 2 diabetes, in particular about the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). In a 1975 paper Marvin Siperstein referred to the OGTT as ‘a pitfall in the diagnosis of diabetes mellitus’. Now the controversy has returned in the wake of the 1997 ...

as a supplement to the oral method has been pointed out by many workers. Moreover, the possibility of error in the result of oral method due to diminished absorption has been shown by Beeler, Bryan, Cathcart and Fitz (1922). The flat blood sugar curve obtained by Thaysen (1929) after the oral administration of glucose, as has been shown by the author, is due to the diminished absorption of gluc...

OBJECTIVE To investigate whether glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and 1-hour glucose level in oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) are useful parameters for evaluation of glucose homeostasis in childhood. METHODS The medical records of 106 obese/overweight children aged from 7 to 18 years who underwent OGTT were evaluated retrospectively. The subjects were divided into 2 groups according to thei...

OBJECTIVE Estimating the prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) and impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) in the urban population aged between 30 and 69 years in the municipality of Campo Grande, state of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. METHODS Population-based cross-sectional study conducted between October/2009 and February/2011. The investigation included the determination of fasting glucose and part...

BACKGROUND Pregnant women commonly receive screening for gestational diabetes mellitus by use of a 50 g glucose challenge test, followed by a diagnostic oral glucose tolerance test for those whose glucose challenge test result is abnormal. Although women with gestational diabetes have an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, it is not known whether mild glucose intolerance during pregnancy ...
