GLUCOSE -D 125

Description

Glucose-D is a type of oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) used to diagnose type 2 diabetes. It is a liquid solution that contains a high amount of glucose, which is consumed by the patient as part of the test.

During the test, a patient’s blood sugar levels are measured before and after consuming the glucose solution. The test is typically done in the morning after an overnight fast. Blood sugar levels are measured before consuming the glucose solution and then again at 30-minute intervals for 2 hours after consuming the solution. The results of the test are then used to diagnose or monitor diabetes, or to evaluate for other conditions such as gestational diabetes.
