Oral Disposition Index
The oral disposition index is based on the glucose and insulin levels during the first 30 minutes of a frequently sampled 5-hour oral glucose tolerance test. It reflects the combination of insulin sensitivity and insulin release in response to the glucose challenge. Higher values suggest a greater response.
