This test is commonly used to assess the body's immediate response to glucose intake and is often performed as part of glucose tolerance testing or to monitor blood sugar levels in individuals with diabetes.
A blood glucose level taken 1 hour after consuming glucose provides valuable information about how the body metabolizes and processes glucose. Normal blood glucose levels after 1 hour are typically below 180 mg/dL (milligrams per deciliter), although the exact target range may vary depending on individual circumstances and medical conditions.
Higher blood glucose levels after 1 hour may indicate impaired glucose tolerance, insulin resistance, prediabetes, or diabetes. Lower blood glucose levels may 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 and guide treatment plans, including lifestyle changes, medication, or insulin therapy.
