The oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) is considered the most useful method for diagnosing active acromegaly and for patient follow-up after neurosurgery. Despite its widespread use, only a few small studies have so far focused on patients' clinical features associated with different GH responsiveness to OGTT.

The oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) is considered the most useful method for diagnosing active acromegaly and for patient follow-up after neurosurgery. Despite its widespread use, only a few small studies have so far focused on patients' clinical features associated with different GH responsiveness to OGTT.
