Estimation of glucose kinetics following an oral glucose load. Methods and applications.
The measurement of glucose kinetics using glucose tracers is well established and validated. Several models of the glucose system have been proposed. In this review, two of these models will be described and their application to the measurement of glucose kinetics during an oral glucose tolerance test discussed. Examples of the applications of this method will be given illustrating the type of questions that can be addressed using this approach.
