New index for evaluation of oral glucose tolerance test results.

A simple numerical index is presented which describes the shape of an oral glucose tolerance response curve and appears to be a measure of the efficiency of homeostatic control. It is unaffected by the laboratory method of glucose estimation, the site of blood sampling, the amount of glucose given, and whether or not the patient has fasted overnight. The index satisfactorily differentiates clinically diabetic from non-diabetic individuals and seems to provide a sensitive method of describing small changes in glucose homeostatic control such as might occur, for example, in pregnancy.

Observations on blood glucose and insulin determinations.

The relation of capillary to venous blood glucose concentration, whole blood to plasma values, and, where possible, the effect of pregnancy on the variables have been studied. We have not been able to show constant relations between capillary and venous blood glucose concentrations as have been implied by a W.H.O. expert committee on diabetes mellitus and the British Diabetic Association.The choice of anticoagulant was shown to have a negligible effect on the results of a single antibody-charcoal separation insulin assay method.
