Plasma glucose 2 hrs after 70 gm glu. Price in Bangladesh

What is Plasma glucose 2 hrs after 70 gm glu.?

This test, also known as the Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT), helps diagnose diabetes and impaired glucose tolerance. Preparation involves fasting for at least 8 hours before the test.

During the test, you’ll drink a solution containing 70 grams of glucose, and blood is drawn two hours later to measure glucose levels. Risks are minimal but may include nausea or dizziness.

Results indicate how well your body processes glucose; levels above 200 mg/dL suggest diabetes. Conditions such as stress, illness, or medications may affect results, leading to inaccurate readings.

• 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.
