This test is commonly used to assess the body's ability to regulate blood sugar levels and is often performed as part of glucose tolerance testing.
During glucose tolerance testing, a person consumes a predetermined amount of glucose, usually in the form of a sugary beverage, and their blood sugar levels are measured at specific intervals afterward. The measurement taken 1&1/2 hours after consuming the glucose provides valuable information about how the body processes and utilizes glucose.
Normal blood glucose levels at this time point typically range between 120-140 mg/dL (milligrams per deciliter). Higher levels may indicate impaired glucose tolerance or diabetes, while lower levels may suggest that the body is efficiently metabolizing glucose.
Interpretation of the results should be done in conjunction with a healthcare professional, as individual circumstances and medical conditions can affect glucose tolerance. This information can be used to diagnose or monitor conditions such as diabetes, gestational diabetes, or reactive hypoglycemia and help determine appropriate treatment plans.
