Identify insulin resistance. Monitor the amount of insulin produced by the beta cells in the pancreas (endogenous); in this case, a C-peptide test may also be done. Insulin and C-peptide are produced by the body at the same rate as part of the conversion of proinsulin to insulin in the pancreas.
Diabetes Diagnosis methods : Oral Glucose Tolerance Test. The last test given is called an oral glucose tolerance test. The patient needs to fast, usually overnight, for 10-16 hours before the test is taken. The only thing that can be ingested is water. Once at the doctor's office, a blood sample is drawn and tested to give a baseline reading. While waiting for the results of the first test, the patient is given a drink of glucola, a cola drink that has a high content of sugar (75 grams of glucose). If the person being tested is a pregnant woman, a higher dose of glucola (100 grams) is given.
