I don’t understand. What does that mean?

Our study suggests that it may be possible to detect some people with metabolic disease earlier by replacing the glucose in a glucose tolerance test with a calorific milkshake containing glucose, fat and protein. The next step will be to compare the ability of the glucose tolerance test and the milkshake test to predict future diabetes development in humans.

The doctor wanted to test my blood glucose levels after I eat a meal full of carbs.
The result was I had diabetes.
