False positive OGTT is seen in all except?: (A) Malnourished, (B) Infection, (C) Severe emotional stress, (D) Exercise
Answer is D. During exercise the muscles will consume sugar; hence sugar levels can be normal in a diabetic patient. However in malnourished patients, bedridden, infection state and severe emotional stress false positive OGTT is seen. It can be explained by catecholamine surge and release of counter- regulatory hormones.
