What is Oral glucose tolerance test in children is done with and explain in detail?
Ideal weight of the glucose taken for glucose tolerance test for children are 1.75gm/kg glucose . Obtain a fasting blood sugar level, then administer an oral glucose load (2 g/kg for children aged < 3 y, 1.75 g/kg for children aged 3-10 y , or 75 g for children aged >10 y). Check the blood glucose concentration again after 2 hours. A fasting whole-blood glucose level higher than 120 mg/dL (6.7 mmol/L) or a 2-hour value higher than 200 mg/dL (11 mmol/L) indicates diabetes. However, mild elevations may not indicate diabetes when the patient has no symptoms and no diabetes-related antibodies. Reference: GHAI Essential pediatrics, 8th edition
