Glucose Tolerance

At Zion Mobile Lab, we offer comprehensive glucose tolerance testing services to assess how your body processes sugar over time.

What is Glucose Tolerance Testing?

Glucose tolerance testing involves measuring your body's response to a concentrated dose of glucose over a specific period. This test helps to evaluate how efficiently your body is able to metabolize sugar and regulate blood glucose levels. It is typically performed in several stages, with blood samples taken at intervals to track changes in glucose levels.

Who Should Consider Glucose Tolerance Testing?

Glucose tolerance testing may be recommended for individuals in the following situations:

Diabetes Screening

Glucose tolerance testing can help identify individuals at risk of developing diabetes or those with prediabetes. x

Diagnosis of Diabetes

It is used to diagnose gestational diabetes in pregnant women or to confirm a diagnosis of diabetes in individuals with symptoms such as frequent urination, excessive thirst, or unexplained weight loss.

Hypoglycemia Evaluation

Glucose tolerance testing can also be useful in evaluating low blood sugar levels (hypoglycemia) and identifying underlying causes.

Monitoring Diabetes Treatment

For individuals with diabetes, glucose tolerance testing can be used to assess the effectiveness of treatment plans and monitor changes in glucose tolerance over time.
