Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Oral contraceptive use may falsely elevate oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT)values. Exercise and a family history of diabetes both can affect blood glucose but will not lead to misleading information from the OGTT. History of previous pregnancies may provide informational about gestational glucose tolerance but will not lead to misleading information from the OGTT.
