Yes.
OGTT is a good indicator of the physiological responses one my experience after meal in daily life. OGTT is a highly sensitive test, capable of detecting imbalances that other tests often miss. Therefore it is far more sensitive than Fasting Blood Glucose (FPG). Moreover, it is minimally invasive. Consequently, it used on a larger scale for screening and diagnosis of pre-diabetes, gestational diabetes, Impaired Glucose Tolerance and ofcourse type 2 diabetes.
However, it should not be used in confirmed cases of diabetes, hypokalemic paralysis, in person who is under physical or psychological stress or who is allergic to sugar or dextrose.
