Common Questions and Answers about Glucose tolerance test fasting pregnancy

glucose

Avatar n tn I have been seeing an endocrinologist because I am constantly having low blood sugar readings and have had a high fasting blood glucose test of 8.3. My endocrinologist feels this may be due to my dysautonomia. She thought maybe reactive hypoglycemia because I am having low fasting glucose levels as well as high. I went for a 2hr OGTT today and I am feeling horrible after the test. My baseline was 4.8 @ 8:55 Given 75g of glucose to drink At 4.3 @ 9:25 At 4.8 @ 9:55 At 6.2 @ 10:25 At 6.
Avatar n tn I'm a 53 year old woman who just had a 3 hour glucose tolerance test, here are my results: Fasting - 106 1 hour - 210 2 hour - 230 3 hour - 167 I'm not sure if these results mean I'm a pre-diabetic or diabetic. Thank you for your help in advance.
Avatar n tn I had a glucose tolerance test and an insulin fasting (drinking the glucose drink) blood test done. I have seen my results but have not had them interpreted for me. My glucose fasting results came back within normal range but my insulin fasting results came back out of range for the 0,1, & 2 hour results. They were much higher than the normal ranges. Does this mean I have insulin resistance?
Avatar f tn With most fasting glucose tolerance test I think it was 10 hours only. Here when you have a fasting test the won't accept anything over 12 hours.
915119 tn?1341948989 I have my appointment on the 2nd of April. I will ask why. The lady who drew the blood said it was different from all the others she had done. She didn't know why they would want a "Fasting Blood Sugar" test and then a "Glucose Tolerance Test". That kind of concerned me. I just hope everything is ok.
Avatar f tn I would recommend a OGTT (oral glucose tolerance test). My glucose was normal on fasting but abnormal two hours after drinking glucose. My fasting insulin was high and even higher two hours. (I would recommended insulin to be tested as well). In my case too much sugar in my diet lead to insulin resistance but hyperthyroidism caused impaired glucose tolerance.
Avatar f tn m going to be 24 weeks tomorrow and I have an appointment for the 3h glucose tolerance test. Its my 4th time since I am pregnant. Just because one of my results was not normal. I wonder why the doctor dont start to treat me for high glucose , instead I have to do this over and over again.... I am so tired of fasting and doing this test.... anyone in a similar situation?
Avatar f tn for my next appointment i going to have the glucose tolerance test beverage and i have many question + I'm scared. help is my first time.
875426 tn?1325528416 t matter if the patient has been fasting or the test is random [excludes OGTT [oral glucose tolerance test]]. A doctor may perform random glucose 'blood' testing to see if glucose varies widely throughout the day. Healthy peeps do not.
975514 tn?1324997938 I left out in my previous post, an OGTT [Oral Glucose Tolerance Test] can be used in place of an fasting test. Sometimes doctors do both to verify one to test with another.
Avatar f tn My due date is 25 may and nurse has suggested glucose tolerance test of three hours.my dr must have ignored this test earlier but now reviewing my pregnancy history they thought about the missing test. I have heard  that this should be around 8 month of pregnancy not now. What should I do? I don't think it will create any effect now if its positive or negative for my health or baby as only 10 days are left.....should I go for it?
Avatar n tn I was just informed I needed to do a 3 hour glucose tolerance test because my one hour was "very high" at 191. I have a calibrated glucometer and I've done finger/arm tests throughout the day and have not had anything remotely abnormal. I had a fasting blood sugar level of 93 first thing in the AM and all my levels after eating were 135 or below. Could the 191 have been error?
306245 tn?1244384967 The accepted ways of screening for diabetes are a fasting glucose, a random glucose(not as good) or a 2 hour glucose tolerance test. A HgB A1C is sometimes used by doctors but it is not widely accepted as a good screening measure, so I suggest a fasting or an OGTT. You should also have a thyroid screen(TSH) done. Fasting glucose is not perfect, so yes you can have a "false negative" in terms of saying you have no abnormalities in glucose handling.
Avatar f tn Hey you guys..I will be six months on Tuesday and my next doctors appointment will be when I'm 26weeks and one day....I should be having my glucose tolerance test soon....I was wondering how was it for some of you? Like what was the process you had to go through? I'm just really curious before I have mime..
Avatar n tn How much the sugar varies from before meal to after meal seems to be the issue here. The glucose tolerance test is the correct test to see how your body reacts to high levels of carbohydrates. It does sound to me as if you perhaps vary more than is ideal, for a low of 57 or high of 256 is something that even diabetics try to avoid.
Avatar f tn The fasting glucose test measures glucose only at test time, not 2 hours prior, the day before or the week before. Did you sit and rest after getting to the doctor's office or did they call you immediately in and perform the test? The latter can, at times, give false positive readings. False positive being higher than normal/inaccurate. New red blood cells live an average of 3 months.
Avatar f tn Is this the glucose tolerance test they do to test for gestational diabetes? Just did my 3hr one this morning. Don't remember it being that bad with my first but the drink made we want to gag this time!
Avatar n tn The test you need to ask to have done on you is a glucose tolerance test. This test starts out with a simple blood test to determine your resting glucose levels. Then, you drink a sweet syrupy drink and blood is drawn at different times after this to see what happens to your glucose levels. If you have an episode of reactive hypoglycemia during this test, it will show up.
1452593 tn?1285187324 Oh, I'm used to hearing that referred to as a OGTT (Oral Glucose Tolerance Test). I'm only aware of its use as a diagnostic tool to test first and second phase insulin responses. It's more useful than a fasting blood sugar for diagnosis, because some people still have normal fasting, long after they've developed impaired glucose tolerance, so it catches those people who are pre-diabetic or diabetic sooner.
