BACKGROUND The Canadian and American Diabetes Associations recommend the use of an oral glucose tolerance test to screen for abnormal glucose tolerance among women with polycystic ovary syndrome when their fasting plasma glucose level is 5.7 mmol/L or more (Canadian guideline) and 5.6 mmol/L or more (American). Our objective was to determine the predictive value of 5.6 mmol/L as a fasting plasm...

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 ...

BACKGROUND In cystic fibrosis, highly variable glucose tolerance is suspected. However, no study provided within-patient coefficients of variation. The main objective of this short report was to evaluate within-patient variability of oral glucose tolerance. METHODS In total, 4,643 standardized oral glucose tolerance tests of 1,128 cystic fibrosis patients (median age at first test: 15.5 [11.5...

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 ...

Aim: The goal of this study was to establish the level awareness amongst pregnant women in terms preparation for an oral glucose tolerance test (oGTT), compare results two waves data collection, and identify most frequent preanalytical mistakes made connection oGTT. Design: Comparison 2 cross-sectional studies. Methods: From 2013–2017 independent questionnaire studies were performed on a ...

THE PLASMA GLUCOSE AND BLOOD PYRUVATE LEVELS WERE DETERMINED AFTER ORAL GLUCOSE TOLERANCE TEST IN SIX GROUPS OF WOMEN: non-obese and obese controls and in non-obese and obese women receiving glucocorticoid or oral contraceptive therapy. The mean fasting plasma glucose level was similar in all groups, but glucose tolerance was impaired in the obese controls, non-obese women on oral contraceptive...

Current criteria for the diagnosis of diabetes c A1C $6.5%. The test should be performed in a laboratory using a method that is NGSP certified and standardized to the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT) assay; or c fasting plasma glucose (FPG) $126 mg/dL (7.0 mmol/L). Fasting is defined as no caloric intake for at least 8 h; or c 2-h plasma glucose $200 mg/dL (11.1 mmol/L) during an...

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...
