Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Oral contraceptive use may falsely elevate oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) values. A viral illness 2 months previously may be associated with the onset of type 1 diabetes but will not falsely affect the OGTT. Exercise and a family history of diabetes both can affect blood glucose but will not lead to misleading information from the OGTT.
