Abbreviated, portable methods of lactose tolerance test administration were investigated. Results obtained with the Ames Reflectance Meter/Dextrostix system for blood glucose determination during lactose tolerance testing were compared with those obtained from a standard method, the AutoAnalyzer. Subjects who had maximum blood glucose rises below 20 mg/100 ml were considered to have a flat lactose tolerance curve and were designated lactose nondigesters. Results of the two methods were very similar for determination of maximum rise in blood sugar over fasting level, for obtaining values of individual blood sugar determinations, and for diagnosis of lactose nondigesters. The effect of omission of the final blood sample on tolerance test results was examined. It was found that maximum rises in blood glucose occurred before the final sample in 31 of 35 cases on the AutoAnalyzer and in 26 of 27 cases on the Reflectance Meter. In no case did omission of the final sample change the results of the lactose tolerance test.
