The glucose tolerance test was first described in 1923 by Jerome W. Conn. [4]The test was based on the previous work in 1913 by A. T. B. Jacobson in determining that carbohydrate ingestion results in blood glucose fluctuations, [5] and the premise (named the Staub-Traugott Phenomenon after its first observers H. Staub in 1921 and K. Traugott in 1922) that a normal patient fed glucose will ...
The air pulse sensory test was invented by Dr. Jonathan E. Aviv MD, FACS in 1993, [1] and has been used by otolaryngologists (ear, nose and throat doctors), [2] pulmonologists (lung doctors), [3] gastroenterologists (stomach and digestion doctors), [4] intensivists (intensive care specialists) [5] and speech-language pathologists who perform ...
Getting a diabetes test can help you get a proper diagnosis. Here, doctors explain how to test for diabetes, gestational diabetes tests, general A1C, and more.

1976: Joslin researchers perfect the A1C test, paving the way for this blood test to assess blood glucose control over a two- to three-month period. 1980s: Basic research at Joslin shows that type 1 diabetes evolves over a period of years, presenting hope that a means may be found to prevent autoimmune destruction of the pancreas’ beta cells ...
The glucose clamp technique was developed by University of Texas (UT) School of Medicine Professors DeFronzo, Andres and Tobin in 1979. [2] It has since been the gold standard for pharmacodynamic studies in diabetes drug development and diagnostics evaluation. [3]
A fluid or water deprivation test is a medical test [1] which can be used to determine whether the patient has diabetes insipidus as opposed to other causes of polydipsia (a condition of excessive thirst that causes an excessive intake of water). The patient is required, for a prolonged period, to forgo intake of water completely, to determine ...
