Abstract
- The article by Cobb et al represents solid research work applying the most sophisticated laboratory technologies, a very sound clinical research methodology, and valid statistical analysis procedures. The authors have identified a combination of metabolites suitable to replace the oral glucose tolerance test procedure in the identification of patients with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) from a fasting blood draw. However, the discussed pathophysiological, clinical, and economic aspects may induce mechanisms restricting the probability of a global acceptance of this test for daily routine.
