Hello, Please review the following results for lactose tolerance test: Fast Glucose 19 mmol/L Glucose -1/2 HR 23.0 mmol/L Glucose-1 HR 24.2mmol/L Glucose-1.5HR 23.9mmol/L Glucose-2HR 25.0mmol/L The cutoff in our lab: glucose rise >1.7 mmol/L: Adequate lactase activity Glucose rise <1.1 mmol/L: lactase deficiency Questions: Is lactose tolerance test valid for patients with diabetes? Can we exclude lactase deficiency from these results? Thanks Amy Lou Clinical Chemist Department of Laboratory Medicine Queen Elizabeth Hospital Charlottetown Canada _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself with free Messenger emoticons.
