GTT 3rd Price in Bangladesh

What is GTT 3rd?

The 3-hour Glucose Tolerance Test (GTT) is typically performed to confirm gestational diabetes. After fasting for 8–12 hours, a baseline blood sample is taken.

The patient then drinks a glucose solution (usually 100g), and blood samples are collected at 1-hour, 2-hour, and 3-hour intervals. Elevated glucose levels at two or more time points indicate gestational diabetes.

Risks are minimal but may include nausea, dizziness, or bruising at the needle site. Proper fasting and avoiding factors like stress or certain medications ensure accurate results.

Results are compared to set thresholds, and any abnormalities guide further diagnosis and management of glucose regulation.

What to expect & how to prepare

GTT 3rd is performed at a diagnostic centre or hospital lab. A trained technician collects the required sample (commonly a blood draw, urine sample, swab or an imaging scan, depending on the test) and sends it to the lab for analysis. Most routine tests take only a few minutes to sample, with reports typically ready the same day or within 24–48 hours.

• Fasting: some tests require 8–12 hours of fasting (water is usually allowed). Ask the centre when you book.
• Medication: tell the lab about any medicines or supplements you take, as some can affect results.
• Timing: certain hormone and biochemistry tests are best done in the morning — confirm the recommended time.
• Report: always have a registered doctor interpret your GTT 3rd result rather than self-diagnosing.
