Overview
The Glucose Tolerance Test measures how well the body processes glucose over time. It involves drinking a glucose solution after fasting, followed by blood samples taken at intervals to assess blood sugar levels.
Risk assessment
The Glucose Tolerance Test (GTT) carries a low risk of complications, including hypoglycemia or nausea, particularly in individuals with reactive hypoglycemia. However, it's generally safe when conducted under medical supervision.
Ranges
Reference ranges vary based on factors such as age, health status, and medical guidelines. Generally, fasting plasma glucose levels below 100 mg/dL (5.6 mmol/L) are considered normal, while two-hour post-load glucose levels below 140 mg/dL (7.8 mmol/...
Test result interpretation
Elevated glucose levels at any point during the test may indicate impaired glucose tolerance or diabetes. The interpretation depends on the specific values and the individual's clinical context.
Sample types
The Glucose Tolerance Test typically requires blood samples collected at multiple time points after drinking a glucose solution. Venous blood samples are commonly used, collected through venipuncture. Additionally, urine samples may be collected to a...

Description
intake glucose 75mg, The OGTT is used to work up glycosuria without hyperglycemia (eg, to work up renal glycosuria). It is used to predict perinatal morbidity in pregnancy and to diagnose gestational diabetes. Risks of fetal abnormality and perinatal mortality are increased with abnormal carbohydrate metabolism in pregnancy.
