An intravenous glucose tolerance test (i.v.GTT) was done before and after 6 months of using a sequential-type oral contraceptive in form of a weekly pill containing 0,6 mg ethinylestradiol-sulfonate (EES) soft gelatin capsules and 10 mg norethisterone acetate (NEA). 17 fertile, eumetabolic women are examined . There was no change neither average fasting blood glucose nor glucose assimilation after intake of ethinylestradiol. Basal as well as reactive insulin values increased by longer period of intake.
