Evaluating Glucose Response for Early Detection of Metabolic Disorders
Description: The plasma glucose test measures the level of glucose (sugar) in your blood. This test is commonly used to screen for gestational diabetes, which can occur during pregnancy. Procedure: Preparation: You might be asked to fast overnight before the test. Glucose Intake: You will be given a drink containing 75 grams of glucose. Timing: One hour after consuming the glucose drink, a blood sample will be taken from your vein. Measurement: The blood sample is then analyzed to measure the glucose level. Purpose: The purpose of the test is to see how well your body processes glucose. Elevated levels of glucose in the blood may indicate gestational diabetes. Normal Range: A normal blood glucose level one hour after consuming 50 grams of glucose is generally considered to be less than 140 mg/dL. Levels above this may require further testing or indicate gestational diabetes. Note : Arogga will provide Glucose (Charge applicable)

How our test process works!
The 1-hour plasma glucose test measures your blood sugar levels 1 hour after consuming a 75g oral glucose solution. It is commonly used to assess glucose tolerance, screen for gestational diabetes in pregnant women, or evaluate risk factors for diabetes and insulin resistance in non-pregnant individuals.
Risk Assessment
-
Normal: <140 mg/dL (7.8 mmol/L)
- Low risk for diabetes or insulin resistance.
-
Impaired Glucose Tolerance (Pre-diabetes): 140–199 mg/dL (7.8–11.0 mmol/L)
- Increased risk for Type 2 Diabetes or cardiovascular diseases.
-
Diabetes (Non-pregnant): ≥200 mg/dL (11.1 mmol/L)
- Diagnostic of diabetes (requires confirmation with other tests).
-
Gestational Diabetes:
- ≥180 mg/dL (10 mmol/L) at 1 hour, depending on the criteria used.
- Diagnosis typically follows confirmation with a 2-hour or 3-hour glucose tolerance test.
Normal Range
- Non-pregnant individuals: <140 mg/dL (7.8 mmol/L)
- Pregnant individuals (Gestational Diabetes Screen):
- <180 mg/dL (10 mmol/L) is considered normal.
Interpretation
- <140 mg/dL: Normal glucose metabolism.
- 140–199 mg/dL: Borderline; warrants further testing, such as HbA1c or fasting plasma glucose.
- ≥200 mg/dL: Indicative of diabetes; needs confirmation with a second test.
- For pregnant individuals, ≥180 mg/dL at 1 hour indicates possible gestational diabetes, requiring additional testing.
Sample Type
- Plasma (Venous blood sample):
- Collected in a tube containing an anticoagulant (e.g., fluoride-oxalate or EDTA).
- Proper handling ensures accuracy by preventing glycolysis (sugar breakdown).
