Question:

From San Juan, Puerto Rico:

Please, can you explain me my 5 year old nephew's GTT results? These are the results:

Fasting   79
1/2 hour 150
1 hour 186
2 hours 148
3 hours 95
4 hours 63

All urine glucose were negative. He had a former 2 hour postprandial [after eating] blood sugar value of 116. He is not diagnosed yet. Does this results mean he is diabetic?

Answer:

The fasting blood sugar level in this test is normal so that with no sugar in the urine you can rest assured that your nephew is not now diabetic. The 1 and 2 hour levels are a little high; but this is almost certainly because the initial dose of glucose was somewhat high for his weight.

Additional comments from Dr. Quick:

See the guidelines for the Classification and Diagnosis of Diabetes for more information about making the diagnosis of diabetes.
