What is a Glucose Tolerance Test?

The Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT) evaluates how efficiently your body processes glucose. It's instrumental in diagnosing:

  • Type 2 Diabetes
  • Prediabetes
  • Insulin Resistance
  • Gestational Diabetes

By monitoring blood glucose levels before and after consuming a glucose-rich drink, we can identify abnormalities in glucose metabolism.
