The present invention provides a composition and method for the diagnosis of diabetes in a human subject. The inventive composition and method include a potable beverage containing a low total loading dose of glucose in a low osmolar solution. The oral glucose solutions of the present invention empty rapidly from the stomach, thereby eliminating the nausea and vomiting typically associated with oral glucose tolerance tests. Further the oral glucose, solutions of the present invention provide an excellent reproducibility of results and a distinct separation between nondiabetic and diabetic subjects, thereby enabling clinicians to better diagnose diabetes in a human subject.

Why it's free to use
- Filed November 30, 1990. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended November 30, 2010.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by November 30, 2012.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
