Oral Glucose Tolerance Tests
Notes:
When a normal fasting person ingests 1 gram of glucose per kilogram of body weight, the blood glucose level rises from around 90 mg/dl to 130 mg/dl and then falls back into normal ranges in about 2 hours.
When a diabetic person ingests 1 gram of glucose per kilogram of body weight, the blood glucose level rises considerably higher than that of a normal person, to about 200+ mg/dl. A diabetic also typically has a higher than average fasting blood glucose level, about 100 -120 mg/dl.
