TL;DR
A detailed investigation of the relationship between glycosuria, clinical dia¬ betes mellitus and glucose tolerance in Canadian Eskimos appeared to be indicated.

A scheme where the people whose urine was negative to clinitest would be instructed to bring onehour postprandial specimens on two subsequent occasions and if either of these were positive a bloodsugar examination would be done, but if they were all negative the patient would be instructions to report back in six months.

This discussion has two purposes, first, to consider the use and the criteria for the interpretation of the standard oral glucose tolerance test employed for the early detection of diabetes and second, to considers experience with the cortisone-glucose tolerance test as used for the possible prediction of future diabetes mellitus.

It is suggested that a rising plasma level of leucine is a physiologic stimulus for the release of insulin, and that the more pronounced sensitivity to leucines hypoglycemia produced experimentally by the administration of sulfonylureas represents a great exaggeration of a normal physiologic phenomenon.

96 Citations1966John Dupré, J. C. Beck
It is concluded that an insujln-aecretagogue, derived from the small intestine, may be concerned in the response to ingested glucose, and that such, an agent may be present in the active extract.

It is shown that vigorous exercise constituted one of the main forms of therapy in the preinsulin era and the blood-sugar-lowering actions of exercise could be ascribed to suppression of hepatic glucose output or enhanced peripheral glucose utilization or both.

The data suggest that, when an adequate quantity of glucose is given, the rapid intravenous glucose tolerance test can be successful, and that the severely diabetic subjects had low decay constants at all glucose dose levels.

Compared with the OGTT, the IVGTT was more difficult and time-consuming, and six of the 81 subjects suffered from thrombophlebitis at the site of glucose injection, and the accuracy of either test in diagnosing early diabetes is doubtful.

It was found that in assessing the result of an intravenous glucose tolerance test it is of importance to take into account the blood sampling method, and whether the patient is ambulant or confined to bed.

4 Citations1967Francis C. Wood, Daniel Porte
Excerpt In recent months corroborating reports have established two new facts about glucagon: [1] Glucagon is a potent stimulus to insulin release, and [2] glucagon, or a compound closely related to insulin, is an important stimulus for insulin release.
