The Glucose Tolerance Test - 75g (Diabetes) is a diagnostic test used to evaluate how effectively the body processes glucose (sugar). This test is specifically designed for diagnosing or ruling out diabetes. After fasting for a specific period, the patient consumes a glucose solution, and blood samples are taken at regular intervals to measure blood sugar levels. The results help healthcare professionals identify abnormal glucose metabolism patterns, determine insulin resistance, and accurately diagnose certain types of diabetes.

The glucose tolerance test is a method for evaluating how efficiently your body metabolizes glucose. Your doctor may recommend this test for various reasons.
This test is prescribed to:
Diagnosing prediabetes and diabetes
Screening for prediabetes and diabetes
To prepare for the glucose tolerance test, you will need to fast for at least eight hours before the test. During this fasting period, you should abstain from both food and any beverages except for water. Since the test is typically scheduled in the morning, a significant portion of the fasting period can coincide with your sleep the night before.
Leading up to the test, you can generally maintain a normal diet until the commencement of the fasting period. However, your doctor may advise you to ensure a daily intake of at least 150 grams of carbohydrates in the three days preceding the glucose tolerance test.
It's crucial to discuss any prescription medications or over-the-counter drugs with your doctor before the test. They can provide guidance on whether any of these medications might impact the test results and whether you need to discontinue them during the fasting period.
For the most accurate results, consult your doctor for specific pretest preparations, and diligently follow the provided instructions in the days leading up to your glucose tolerance test.
During the glucose tolerance test, laboratory technicians will analyze the glucose levels in each blood sample taken at various time intervals. The values for each of these timed samples will be included in your lab report.
The laboratory analysis aims to identify whether your glucose level in any of the blood samples deviates from the normal range. Specifically, the blood glucose level measured two hours after consuming the glucose solution is crucial in diagnosing diabetes or prediabetes.
The glucose tolerance test involves measuring the amount of glucose present in your bloodstream after a period of fasting and then at fixed intervals following the consumption of a sugary drink. Blood glucose levels are typically expressed in milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL).
