Plasma glucose 1 hour after 70 gm glucose
The plasma glucose level measured 1 hours after a 70-gram glucose tolerance test (GTT) is a diagnostic tool used to assess glucose metabolism. This test involves measuring the glucose levels in the blood after fasting, followed by consuming a glucose solution. After 1 hours, a blood sample is taken to determine how efficiently the body has processed the glucose. Elevated glucose levels at this point may indicate impaired glucose tolerance or diabetes mellitus, providing valuable insights into an individual's metabolic health and potential risk for developing diabetes.

How our test process works!
Overview:
This test measures plasma glucose levels 1 hour after ingesting a 70g glucose load. It is typically used in specific clinical scenarios, such as evaluating glucose metabolism or diagnosing certain types of glucose intolerance.
- Normal (<140 mg/dL): Indicates normal glucose tolerance.
- Elevated (≥140 mg/dL): Suggests potential glucose intolerance or impaired glucose metabolism. Further tests like the Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT) may be required to confirm conditions such as:
- Prediabetes
- Diabetes mellitus
Normal Range:
- Normal value: Less than 140 mg/dL (<7.8 mmol/L).
Interpretation:
- <140 mg/dL: Normal glucose metabolism; no immediate concern.
- 140–199 mg/dL: Impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) or prediabetes.
- ≥200 mg/dL: Likely diabetes mellitus; diagnostic confirmation needed with additional testing (e.g., fasting glucose, HbA1c).
Sample Type:
- Plasma: Venous blood sample collected in a fluoride oxalate tube to prevent glycolysis, ensuring accurate glucose measurement.
