In recent decades, controversies have arisen identifying internationally acceptable cut points using fasting plasma glucose (FPG), 2-h post-load glucose (2-h PG), and/or HbA1c for defining intermediate hyperglycemia (prediabetes). Despite this, there has been a steadfast global consensus of the 2-h PG for defining dysglycemic states during the OGTT. This article reviews the history of the OGTT and recent advances in its application, including the glucose challenge test and mathematical modeling for determining the shape of the glucose curve. Pitfalls of the FPG, 2-h PG during the OGTT, and HbA1c are considered as well. Finally, the associations between the 30-minute and 1-hour plasma glucose (1-h PG) levels derived from the OGTT and incidence of diabetes and its complications will be reviewed. The considerable evidence base supports modifying current screening and diagnostic recommendations with the use of the 1‐h PG. Measurement of the 1‐h PG level could increase the likelihood of identifying high-risk individuals when the pancreatic ß-cell function is substantially more intact with the added practical advantage of potentially replacing the conventional 2‐h OGTT making it more acceptable in the clinical setting.Keywords: OGTT history, OGTT, glycated hemoglobin, diabetes, gestational diabetes, pathophysiology, 1-h post-load glucose, prediction, shape indexJagannathan RNeves JSDorcely BChung STTamura KRhee MBergman MDove Medical Pressarticleogtt historyogttglycated hemoglobindiabetesgestational diabetespathophysiology1-h post-load glucosepredictionshape index;Specialties of internal medicineRC581-951ENDiabetes, Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity: Targets and Therapy, Vol Volume 13, Pp 3787-3805 (2020)
