After 100 Gms Glucose Given
This is well-known as Glucose Tolerance Test. In this test, Glucose is given to the person to examine the body’s response to Glucose (Sugar). It’s used to diagnose Type-2 Diabetes and Gestational Diabetes occurs in the pregnancy time.
After Administration of 100 Gms GLUCOSE:
Why 100 grams glucose test?
CLINICAL INFORMATION :
ORAL GLUCOSE TOLERANCE TEST (OGTT) or glucose challenge test is a medical test performed in the laboratory when the patient is fasting overnight (8 to 12 hours) and OGTT is performed in the morning a measured amount of glucose (specific amount such as 100 grams of glucose) is administered to check how the body moves the administered extra load (100grams – Standard dose of Glucose) sugar from the blood to the muscle and fat (to determine how quickly that extra glucose is cleared from the blood. The blood specimen is drawn from the cubital vein and/ or finger-prick capillary blood at zero time (baseline) before glucose administration and then at every half an hour for two hours depending upon the protocol of the physician and the levels of urine and blood glucose and/or levels of insulin are measured and the results are plotted in a graph). This test is usually done to diagnose diabetes, insulin resistance, impaired beta-cell function, during gestation or pregnancy (gestational diabetes during pregnancy), etc. complications may increase the rate of morbidity and/or mortality.
General instructions:
Sample Requirement: Specimen -Blood sample drawn from the vein and also urine specimen in uncontrolled diabetes. Test Preparation: None.
NOTE - Sample for specimen collections may vary based on the patient’s condition/cases according to the patient’s presentingcomplaints / signs or symptoms:
SPECIMENREQUIREMENT (Special or Rare Cases) - As instructed and guided by Physician / Clinician / Pathologist / as per Laboratory’s requirements, according to procedures and protocols.
This Multi-Specialty Clinical Referral Laboratory RTDIAGNOSTICS provides precise and accurate tests with an extensive range of testing services to the medical centers to help in the diagnosis and identification of pathology in the test specimens for infectious diseases and also to evaluate the function of organ systems of the patient. It prevents further complications and helps to stabilize and restore health to near normalcy at the earliest without delay.
