Glucose Tol (5 Specimen)
What's Included?


Requires an 8 HOUR FAST BEFORE testing

Glucose is the sugar that the body uses for energy. Patients with untreated diabetes have high blood glucose levels. Glucose tolerance tests are one of the tools used to diagnose diabetes.

The most common glucose tolerance test is the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). You can not eat or drink anything after midnight before the test. For the test, you will be asked to drink a liquid containing a certain amount of glucose. Your blood may be taken before you do this (fasting), and again at 1/2 HOUR, 1 HOUR, 2 HOUR, 3 HOUR and after you drink the solution.
