Although there has been repeated criticism regarding the Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT), we still do not know an alternative procedure with a better evaluability than the OGTT which can be carried out as easily as that. Radioimmunological tests to determine insulin as well as C peptides will not be able to give a definite distinction between a marginal "diabetic" and an "eumetabolic", nor will the OGTT. Considering certain criteria when carrying out and analyzing the OGTT, however, it might as well be possible to restrict the area of "disturbed glucose tolerances".
