Glucose tolerance test (3 points, 75g, fasting 1 and 2 hours after loading)

• The material for testing is blood.
• Approximately 30 minutes before the examination, it is recommended to drink 1 glass of water only.
• Adult patients – according to the doctor’s recommendations in the referral, in the absence of recommendations in the referral 2 points – 75 g
  Pregnant women – according to the doctor’s recommendations in the referral, in the absence of recommendations in the referral 3 points – 75 g
  Minor patients (under 18 years of age) – strictly according to the referring doctor’s recommendations in the referral (loading dose, number and time of subsequent collections after loading).
• The patient receives the recommended dose of glucose in our facilities.
• The patient must fast for at least 12 hours after consuming the last meal, unless the doctor recommends otherwise (e.g. performing the test after a meal)
• Before the test you may only drink water.
• You should not drink coffee, flavored water, drinks such as cola light/cola “zero”, energy drinks, or juices.
• You should not eat meals, snacks, fruits, vegetables, breath fresheners, chew gum, or smoke cigarettes.
• You must remain in place throughout the examination.
• After the first fasting blood sample, the patient is given a glucose solution to drink, and then subsequent blood samples are collected at recommended intervals.
• After the examination, it is advisable to eat a meal
  due to the possibility of reactive hypoglycemia (fainting).

• We perform the test on children from 5 years of age, provided they cooperate and are able to drink the entire glucose solution within 5 minutes.
• The glucose tolerance test for children up to 18 years of age can only be performed at CM Luxmed facilities
  at ul. Radziwiłłowska 5, ul. Zwycięska 6A and ul. Orkana 7.
• In the case of minors (under 18 years of age), the referral must specify the glucose load dose and the time of collecting subsequent samples after the load.

A referral from a physician is required for the test. For minors (under 18 years of age), the referral must specify the glucose challenge dose and the time for collecting subsequent samples after the challenge.
Samples brought from outside the facility will not be accepted for testing.
Due to the risk of reactive hypoglycemia, it is recommended that after the test (after collecting the last post-challenge sample), the patient eat a small meal and remain at the facility for approximately 10 minutes. Remaining at the facility after the test is for the patient's safety. If the patient feels unwell, they can report this and seek appropriate medical attention.

The oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) is used to diagnose diabetes in individuals with normal or slightly elevated fasting glucose levels.
Glucose is administered orally, and levels are measured in the fasting state, one hour, and two hours after the challenge.
