Our 4 HR Glucose Tolerance test is a non-invasive way to monitor blood sugar levels over a 4-hour period, for non-pregnant individuals. This test is often recommended for those who may be at risk for diabetes or other blood sugar-related conditions. The test involves taking a blood sample after fasting, and then consuming a glucose solution before additional blood samples are taken at specific intervals. The results provide valuable information about how the body processes sugar and can help identify any potential issues with insulin regulation. By offering this test, we aim to provide our customers with the information they need to make informed decisions about their health and well-being.

How is the 5 Specimen Glucose Tolerance test used by my healthcare provider?

A blood glucose test serves various purposes, such as:

Identifying hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia

Screening for diabetes in individuals at risk before symptoms manifest; some cases may show no early signs or symptoms of diabetes. Therefore, screening can aid in early detection for timely treatment initiation before the condition worsens or complications arise.

Assisting in the identification of diabetes, prediabetes, and gestational diabetes.

Monitoring blood sugar levels and diabetes management.

Individuals diagnosed with diabetes should have their glucose levels monitored.

Between the 24th and 28th week of pregnancy, glucose blood tests are conducted to screen pregnant women for gestational diabetes. Pregnant women without a previous diabetes diagnosis should undergo screening and diagnosis using either a one-step or two-step approach, following guidelines from the American Diabetes Association and the US Preventive Services Task Force.
