Abstract
A modified oral sugar test for evaluation of insulin and glucose dynamics in horses
Highlights
An oral sugar test (OST) using Karo® Light Corn Syrup has been developed in the USA as a field test for the assessment of insulin sensitivity in horses but the syrup is not available in Europe
The modified OST appears to be a useful field screening test to determine whether the horse is IR or not
Estimates derived from the OST may be useful to estimate insulin sensitivity but requires further evaluation
