Tolerance to a glucose load was also impaired in mice after one week on the high-fat diet, suggesting the development of insulin resistance (Fig.
After an oral glucose load (Figure 1), the Ff/ff subjects had similar plasma glucose levels at each time point compared to the FF subjects.
"Sleep-deprived individuals' ability to respond to a glucose load and release insulin is altered."
The metabolic response to a carbohydrate challenge is conveniently assessed by a postprandial glucose level drawn 2 hours after a meal or a glucose load.
Oat gum lowers glucose and insulin after an oral glucose load.
Effect of dose and modification of viscous properties of oat gum on plasma glucose and insulin following an oral glucose load.
Insulin injections are usually timed around meals to cope with the glucose load from digestion.
In UK General Practice, the standard glucose load is provided by 394ml of the sports drink Lucozade (original flavour only), which the patient is asked to supply.
Ideally, GH should be less than 2 ng/ml after an oral glucose load.
Plasma glucose at or above 11.1 mmol/L (200 mg/dL) two hours after a 75 g oral glucose load as in a glucose tolerance test.
