Quantose® IGt
QUANTOSE® IGT is a laboratory-developed test (LDT) that reflects the degree of impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) in an individual - a known risk factor for prediabetes and cardiovascular disease. Prediabetes occurs when blood glucose levels that are higher than normal, but not yet high enough to be diagnosed as diabetes. Our test is designed to easily differentiate IGT from normal glucose tolerance. Quantose IGT is currently available to clinicians in the U.S.
Quantose IGT is the first convenient test developed and clinically validated using the gold standard for impaired glucose tolerance, the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). We offer a simplified OGTT process that requires only a single, fasted blood draw.
According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), about 86 million Americans have prediabetes, and nine out of 10 are undiagnosed. The International Diabetes Federation puts the number at about 344 million people globally. About half the adults with IGT are under the age of 50.
- IGT is a prediabetic state at high risk for the development of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.1
- Patients with both IGT and impaired fasting glucose (IFG) are twice as likely to develop type 2 diabetes compared to patients who are either IGT or IFG.2
- IGT is a stronger predictor for cardiovascular disease over IFG.2,3
- Overweight or obese
- Family history of type 2 diabetes
- Little physical activity
- Have hypertension or high cholesterol
- History of gestational diabetes
- Increasing age
- A Quantose IGT Score is generated using a proprietary algorithm that combines glucose and seven biomarkers associated with dysglycemia, including α-hydroxybutyrate (AHB), oleic acid and linoleoyl-glycerophospocholine (LGPC).
- α-Hydroxybutyrate (AHB) – an organic acid that may be a marker of fatty acid oxidation and antioxidant glutathione synthesis (oxidative stress)
- Linoleoyl-glycerophosphocholine (LGPC) – a lipid that may be a marker of fatty acid synthesis in the liver and inflammation
- Oleic acid – a free fatty acid that is a marker of lipolysis and total plasma fatty acids
- AHB, LGPC, and oleic acid are selective biomarkers of IGT independent of age, sex, BMI, and fasting glucose.4
- In patients with insulin resistance and elevated glucose, Quantose IGT can be used to assess whether they also have impaired glucose tolerance, which places them at higher risk for diabetes.
- Patients who have been placed on weight-loss treatment may have follow-up testing conducted once the patient's weight has stabilized.
- Frequency of testing is at the clinician's discretion.
- Quantose IGT has been clinically developed and validated using the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), the gold standard for measuring impaired glucose tolerance. Our test offers a simplified process that requires only a single, fasted blood draw.
- Historically, the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was the only method to diagnose patients with impaired glucose tolerance. Although IGT is a known risk factor, use of the OGTT has diminished considerably in recent years as it is time-consuming, expensive and unpopular with both patients and physicians.
QUANTOSE IGT is available as a laboratory-developed (LDT) test in the U.S. If you are a healthcare provider and need more information about the test or to order, please contact us at email@example.com or 1.844.IR.FIRST (1.844.473.4778).

Fringe, dis|CONNECTED
In a world full of technology meant to bring us together, why are we still so detached from the people around us? In dis|CONNECTED, Emotions Dance will explore the forces that cause us to disengage and the eternal ties that remain, pulling us back into relationship with one another and allowing us to connect within ourselves.
Larissa greeted me and walked me back stage before the performance. I was to walk center stage about midway through the show and two dancers would dance around me. It sounded simple enough. As I waited to go on, I sketched. The dancers only had a few minutes to stretch and warm up to perform. The venue opened and I noticed people making their way to the seats. Terry was in the audience and she reported that there were perhaps 25 people there. Fringe producer Michael Marinaccio had earlier explained that the first night of Fringe was usually the slowest. He had scheduled all local acts the first night figuring the performers could drum up an audience of friends and family via social media. The dancers lamented that it would be depressing if there were more dancers than audience members. A reviewer could be in the audience however so they needed to give it their all.
The lights blazed and the dancers were on. I could only see occasional legs and arms from my position in the wings. The black wing curtains fractured my view. Besides I was still working on the sketch of dancers stretching. The song, "Addicted to Love" came on and Larissa nudged me on stage. I walked center stage still working on my sketch. Two dancers began a high stakes cat fight over me. I raised an eyebrow shrugged and returned to my sketch as they clawed at each other and competed for attention. I heard laughter in the audience so I suspect the moment was entertaining. The dancers flew off stage still fighting leaving me still standing center stage sketching. When the lights blacked out, I walked off stage. In the wings the dancers gave me a high five.
Seeing dance from the wings is entirely different than watching as an audience member. I have a renewed sense of awe for how hard these women work. When they come off stage they are completely spent and gasping for air. They have only a few minutes to recover before they have to go right back out again. Between dance numbers dancers walked around the stage holding signs that had life affirming notes and doubts much like the woman who announces boxing rounds. One piece had audio of boxing and sports coaches talking about athletes who have to give their all and then push even further. That is standard practice for Emotions Dancers.

Posted by: budgettravel 3 years, 4 months ago
When we found out that we were going to Germany for a month, Italy was a natural destination for travel afterwards. Bursting with history, I wanted to show the kids another culture, another country, another time. Italy delivered. They experienced and saw so many new and old things that they had never seen before. We made many memories that we will all cherish for many years to come.
Having said that, traveling with kids has its own pains. But as they say, time heals all pains, and I am happy to report that 3 months has almost completely washed away the memory of our bad days. 8)
We learned a few lessons along the way, usually the hard way. Hopefully it will help you have a better travel experience. Feel free to check out our travel destinations in Italy:
|Venice - the city built on stilts in the Adriatic Sea (Picture Left: Gondolas along the Grand Canal)
|Florence- the city of sculptures, home to Michelangelo and Galileo, and Ponte Vecchio (Picture Left: Ponte Vecchio)
|Cinque Terre and La Spezia - A view from our hike from Levanto to Monterosso (one of the villages of Cinque Terre)
|Pompeii and Surrounding Excavations - Pompeii, Herculaneum, Oplontis and many more - there is so much to learn from the remains that the ancient world left us. (Picture Left: Funerary Monuments that line the road to Pompeii's City Gate)
|Mount Vesuvius - the volcano that buried Pompeii, Oplontis and Herculaneum in its ashes in 79 AD. (Picture Left: A view of the volcano from Ancient Pompeii Forum)
|Amalfi Coast- A View from Footpath of the Gods (Sentierro degli Dei) trail
|Matera - the oldest city in Italy, over 9000 years old and still being inhabited today
|Rome - the city that will unfold 3000 years of history right before your eyes. (Picture Left: The Colosseum)
