The method of carrying out these tests for either carbohydrat source is similar. D-xylose is preferable to use as it is not metabolized by the small intestinl mucose and its absorption is not affected by insulin. However, D-xylose is not readily available. For that reason, the focus will be upon the D-glucose test which is also known as an oral glucose tolerance test.
