Timing of CD4 count Mar 28, 2004 Dr. Young, Any problem having blood for T cell subset taken during a glucose tolerance test? Could the very concentrated serum levels of glucose raise or lower the CD4 and Cd8 counts? I know that glucose causes a rush to the metabolism,so I was wondering if this could falsely/temporarily raise or lower T cells. Thank you. Thank you. |

| Response from Dr. Young
 Thanks for your question. I'm not aware of any issues of testing T cells during a glucose tolerance test. Remember, that if you have a normal insulin response, that the glucose load during the test actually shouldn't significantly raise the glucose levels in the blood. Thanks for reading. BY | ||||||||
