Plasma glucose 3 hrs after 75 gm glucose Price in Bangladesh

What is Plasma glucose 3 hrs after 75 gm glucose?

This test measures blood glucose levels 3 hours after consuming a 75 gm glucose solution, commonly used to diagnose diabetes or impaired glucose tolerance. Preparation involves fasting for at least 8 hours prior.

During the test, the patient drinks the glucose solution, and blood is drawn at the 3-hour mark. Risks include slight discomfort from the blood draw or nausea from the glucose drink.

After the test, normal activities can resume. Results: A normal result is under 140 mg/dL; levels above indicate potential diabetes.

Conditions like recent food intake or certain medications 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.
