Type 2 & other diabetes

Reproducibility of the diagnosis of diabetes by the 1-hour oral glucose tolerance test is substantial

Diabetes Res Clin PractPublished Diagnostic reproducibility study

Authors' conclusion

With insulin resistance greater in non-switchers, 1 h-OGTT reproducibility may be better if insulin resistance present.

Study context

Population
African descent individuals with 1 h-OGTTs performed 10 ± 7d (mean ± SD) apart
Participants
