This test is commonly performed as part of glucose tolerance testing to assess the body's ability to regulate blood sugar over an extended period.
The blood glucose level taken 3 hours after consuming glucose provides valuable information about the body's ability to maintain stable blood sugar levels. Normal blood glucose levels at this time are generally below 140 mg/dL (milligrams per deciliter), although the target range may vary depending on individual circumstances and medical conditions.
Higher blood glucose levels at the 3-hour mark may indicate impaired glucose tolerance, prediabetes, or diabetes. Lower blood glucose levels within the normal range suggest that the body is efficiently metabolizing and utilizing glucose.
Interpretation of the results should be done in consultation with a healthcare professional, as individual circumstances and medical conditions can affect glucose tolerance. These results can help diagnose or monitor conditions such as diabetes or gestational diabetes and guide treatment plans, such as lifestyle changes, medication, or insulin therapy.
