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 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 n tn I looked on the American Diabetes website and there is an OGTT test- is that the test--meaning oral glucose tolerance test. This is what they say about those results. OGTT test, a person's blood glucose level is measured after a fast and two hours after drinking a glucose-rich beverage. If the two-hour blood glucose level is between 140 and 199 mg/dl, the person tested has pre-diabetes. If the two-hour blood glucose level is at 200 mg/dl or higher, the person tested has diabetes.
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 m tn 4 mmol/L away from type 2 diabetes diagnosis on my oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). My random and fasting blood glucose is always normal. The OGTT test is ordered if there is a suspicion of prediabetes or diabetes with normal random or fasting glucose. Fasting glucose test: Pre diabetes: 100 to 125 mg/dL (5.6 to 6.9 mmol/L) Diabetes: 126 mg/dL (7.0 mmol/L) or higher Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). Pre diabetes: 140 to 199 mg/dL (7.8 to 11.0 mmol/L) Diabetes: 200 mg/dL (11.
Avatar f tn Hi Everyone, I've been diagnosed with idiopathic Small Fiber Neuropathy which I'm sure as many of you know is a common malady with diabetics. The "idiopathic" is hard to accept, so I've been doing a lot of reading and research myself, and requested an Oral Glucose Tolerance Test. I'd like to share my results of that test and other glucose-related tests and get some opinions if I could. Fasting Glucose: Low 80s (consistently) A1c: 5.
Avatar n tn A fasting plasma glucose (FPG) test , an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) or a random plasma glucose test, along with an assessment of symptoms, is used to diagnose diabetes. Risk factors for diabetes include age, excess body weight , family history of diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipedemia increases the chance of being a diabetic. Hope this helps. Take care and do keep us posted.
Avatar m tn Hello, I am a 46-year-old white male, 152 lbs., 6' 0". I exercise and lift weights daily. All of my other health indicators are excelent. My endocrinologist has just diagnosed me as being pre-diabetic based on results of the oral glucose tolerance test. However, I've been unable to find online where a high one-hour blood sugar value has been the basis for diagnosis. I know that the OGTT two-hour level that is the cutoff for diabetes diagnosis is 200.
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 n tn Please provide an explanation and/or reference source about the various results one can expect from the glucose tolerance test versus time in individuals.
Avatar f tn Hello, Your blood sugar results to OGTT seem to be totally normal. In normal people blood glucose will be in the 70 - 90s range regardless of what you eat or drink. Why was an OGTT performed? Did your doctor test insulin at the same time that they tested blood glucose?
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 n tn Have you recently been retested by your doctor? If you drank a 75 gram glucose drink - for an Oral Glucose Tolerance Test [OGTT] - your preferred 2 hour maximum level is expected to be <140 mg/dl [< = less than]. However, some labs, and some doctors, use <180 mg/dl as the maximum range. Talk with your doctor and get properly tested - Fasting, OGTT and A1c tests. Lastly, try to restrict your consumption of bad carbs.
1654177 tn?1319838494 Fasting, an OGTT [Oral Glucose Tolerance Test] and/or an A1c. if the OGTT points to diabetes and A1c usually is ordered. The OGTT sees how well your body shed excess glucose. The A1c looks at your glucose levels over the past 2-3 months. Kaiser doc should have ordered these tests - email her and request labs.

1033523 tn?1258035082 (some labs have low point as 60 mg/dl) 2.) OGTT [Oral Glucose Tolerance Test] - You are given a sugary liquid to drink. You are tested in 1 hour intervals. This test is given to see how well your body sheds excess glucose after 1, 2 and 3 hours of ingesting the liquid. 3.) RGT [Random Glucose Test] - Tested at any given time. Several may be done throughout the day. Levels that vary widely indicates a problem.
Avatar n tn My fest glucose level was at 170, and I did the 3 hours glucose tolerance test. The results were 290 after the first hour, 248 after 2, and 210 after 3. Also, there was glucose in my urine. After that, I did another blood/urine test (without festing at all), and no glucose or ketones were found in my urine, and my cholesterol was 169, which I think is perfect.
Avatar n tn In the US, the doctor may ordered a clean urine catch to coincide with a fasting blood draw or an OGTT [Oral Glucose Tolerance Test]. If you are concerned about diabetes ask for an A1c test [Hb1c, HbA1c] which is used as the standard tool to determine glucose [blood sugar] control.
Avatar m tn Ask your doctor for an OGTT test [oral glucose tolerance test]. This is used in cases where the disease is suspected, despite a normal fasting blood glucose. Be sure to tell your doctor about any medications/vitamins/supplements you are taking. And, try to stay calm before and during the test. Do not exercise vigorously the day before or prior to the test. This may affect your test results.
