[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1642902, member: 94045"] This is the Rapilose [URL]https://www.gpsupplies.com/rapilose-ogtt-glucose-solution-300ml-pack-of-1[/URL] [URL]http://penlanhealthcare.com/uploads/Rapilose-OGTT-Instructions-For-Use.pdf[/URL] [URL]http://penlanhealthcare.com/products-rapilose-ogtt-solution[/URL] A few of us on here have done a home OGTT. The hard part is having to eat 150g carbs for 3 days beforehand, although I didn't do this personally and of course it isn't compulsory, but to meet the WHO guidelines it should be done. I did mine and tested every 15 minutes from finishing the drink for 3 hours. The surprising thing I found was it kick started my pancreas and I saw amazing averages for several weeks afterwards, starting the same day I took the test. You aren't quite right about about the standard procedure stating you should be starting above a certain level.
