The Shape of the Glucose Curve and Time to Glucose Peak During an Oral Glucose Tolerance Test as Indicators of Beta Cell Function in Obese Adolescents

Sabolić Lavinia La Grasta , Stipančić Gordana , Šepec Marija Požgaj

Introduction: Morphological characteristics of the glucose concentration curve during an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) may reflect differences in insulin secretion and sensitivity. Whether the shape of the glucose curve and time to peak glucose concentration can be used as indicators of beta cell function and markers of type 2 diabetes risk in obese adolecents is still uncertain.Aims/hypothesis: The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to asses...
