Abstract
Side effects such as nausea and vomiting occurred frequently during the standard glucose tolerance test. In our experience frequency of side effects shown in 608persons tested with 100g of glucose was 45.7percent.
Adding some flavors or changing the concentration of glucose in test solutions could not affect the frequency of side effects.
One new test solution (SDT-25) which consisted of hydrolyzed starch was administered in 240persons and the frequency of side effects of SDT-25was much less than that of glucose solution (p<0.01).
It was proved that blood sugar levels after SDT- 25ingestion were almost equal to those after glucose ingestion.
