[QUOTE="AdamJames, post: 1762950, member: 459333"] Yes, clearly! Especially in the form of a Rapilose OGTT solution. It didn't even taste very nice, which was probably the most upsetting thing :) I was curious about the "shape of the curve" though. I haven't graphed it yet but clearly it's a very steep rise to dangerous levels then quite a steep fall. From the example graphs online they suggest someone with T2 can expect a much smoother 'graph' and to "stay high" for quite some time. Mine was very steep, got to an even higher level than some of the example graphs, then had a very steep fall. Had I not measured every 20 minutes, I might have thought I just had "impaired glucose tolerance" as per the WHO guidelines. But the massive rise in between suggests it would be crazy to assume I had merely had "impaired glucose tolerance". Have you ever done an OGTT and if so what sort of "shape" did you get? Or anyone else reading this? [/QUOTE]
