A glucose tolerance test measures how well your bodyâs cells are able to absorb glucose, or sugar, after you ingest a given amount of sugar. Doctors use fasting blood sugar levels and hemoglobin A1c values to diagnose type 1 and type 2 diabetes, and prediabetes. A glucose tolerance test can also be used. Doctors primarily use a glucose tolerance test to diagnose gestational diabetes. Doctors often diagnose type 1 diabetes quickly because it usually develops quickly and involves high blood sugar levels. Type 2 diabetes, on the other hand, often develops over years.
This is diagnosed following an oral glucose tolerance test. During this test your fasting blood glucose is tested ï¬rst. You then take a drink with a measured amount of glucose in it. Your blood glucose is tested after 1 hour and ï¬nally after 2 hours. You have impaired glucose tolerance if your blood glucose level after 2 hours is above 7.8mmol/L, and below 11.1mmol/L.
