KRAFT TEST PART 3: Catch Prediabetes Before HbA1c, Fasting Glucose, or OGTT?! Kraft Test

A prediabetic could still have a relatively “normal” blood glucose response in the Oral Glucose Tolerance Test. They could also be near the upper end of fasting glucose and hemoglobin A1c.

The Kraft Test measures your glucose and insulin response 30 minutes, 1, 2, and 3 hours after consuming 75 grams of glucose.

In people with a healthy insulin response, you should see the insulin curve following the blood glucose curve.

But in someone who has prediabetes, the insulin curve will be higher because more insulin is needed. This is because the cells are less sensitive to insulin’s effect. Their body is a little insulin resistant, but their insulin can still keep up and that brings the sugar level down.

But eventually their body won’t be able to make enough insulin to keep up and they will have impaired fasting glucose – or prediabetes. Left untreated, prediabetes can develop into type 2 diabetes with both elevated glucose and insulin levels.

This 2017 research study backs this claim up and says that:

“Using fasting glucose, oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) or A1c may not be the most effective early screening tool for T2D.”

“Incorporating fasting insulin and especially insulin after an oral glucose tolerance test as enhanced screening methods, may help to increase the ability to detect diabetes and prediabetes, allowing earlier intervention to prevent diabetic complications.”
