Plasma glucose 1 hour after 70 gm glu. Price in Bangladesh

What is Plasma glucose 1 hour after 70 gm glu.?

This test checks how well your body processes glucose, often used to diagnose gestational diabetes. Preparation requires fasting for at least 8 hours before the test.

After fasting, you'll drink a solution containing 70 grams of glucose. Steps involve drawing blood one hour later to measure plasma glucose levels.

Risks are minimal but may include nausea or dizziness. After the test, you can resume normal activities.

Results above 180 mg/dL may indicate gestational diabetes or impaired glucose tolerance. Conditions like obesity or insulin resistance can affect the results.

What to expect & how to prepare

A sample is collected at the centre and analysed in the laboratory. The sample type — blood, urine, stool or another body fluid — depends on the specific test, and the collection staff will tell you which one applies.

• Fasting: only some laboratory tests need fasting, and this varies test by test. Ask the centre whether fasting is required for this specific test when you book, rather than assuming.
• Medication: tell the laboratory about medicines, supplements and recent injections, because some can affect results.
• Requesting slip: bring the doctor's advice or previous reports so the laboratory runs and compares the right test.
• Report timing: turnaround differs between routine and specialised tests — the centre will tell you when your report is ready.

Have a registered doctor interpret the result together with your symptoms rather than self-diagnosing from reference ranges.
