Had an interesting discussion today with a GP who said they did OGTTs in the practice. Oh, says I, and do you give the patient Polycal?
No says GP we tell them to come in fasting, take their blood, and then send them home for a sugar puffs /toast and jam breakfast and tell them to come back in two hours.
I am going home now for a nice lie down.
