Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT)

The Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT) is a diagnostic procedure conducted by the health provider to detect gestational diabetes, undiagnosed diabetes, and assess carbohydrate metabolism. Conducted in the morning on an empty stomach, the procedure commences with a fasting blood test followed by a blood sugar level check. If the initial results are below 7.00 mmol/l, the patient then consumes a sweet solution containing 75g of glucose. After 120 minutes, a second blood sample is taken to determine glucose tolerance levels. The provider's careful execution of the procedure, using standard laboratory equipment, ensures precise results.

The Glucose and Insulin Test (0-60-120 minutes) is a comprehensive examination designed to assess your body's response to glucose intake and insulin production. This test provides valuable insights into your blood sugar levels and insulin sensitivity, aiding in the diagnosis and management of various health conditions.
