I know this subject has appeared in the past, but I was wondering if anyone 
could point me in the direction of the latest information on the use of 
Lucozade in OGTTs - different formulations and volumes etc that can be used. 
I have tried various other avenues and hit several brick walls so far!

We are auditing how our GPs perform OGTTs, so I would also be interested to 
hear from anyone who has done anything similar, or whether labs produce 
guidance for their GPs and/or patients on the procedure. We were interested 
to note that the WHO criteria document
(http://www.who.int/diabetes/currentpublications/en/) does not specifically 
state the levels of activity permissible during the test, or whether the patient 
can eat or drink during the 2 hours!

Many thanks, Fiona
