Alterations in Plasma Triglyceride Concentrations following Two Oral Meals with Different Fat Content in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

CONCLUSION: An oral fat tolerance test (OFTT), which contains 75g fat, and represents the everyday habits of Western societies, could provide additional information regarding the postprandial state of the individuals with well-controlled T2DM. The consumption of meals with very high fat content may lead to over diagnosing PPL. TG differences after the consumption of a high fat meal correlated with HOMA-IR. This may be useful to evaluate the role of HOMA-IR in T2DM patients. A standardized the OFTT will help clinicians to better define postprandial TG abnormalities, leading to more appropriate therapeutic options to improve postprandial dysmetabolism.
