Glucose Tolerance Test finds the body's response to sugar. This test is used as a screening tool for Type-2 diabetes as well. The Glucose Tolerance Test should be reserved principally for patients with “borderline” fasting plasma glucose levels. The test is necessary for diagnosis of impaired fasting glucose and impaired glucose tolerance. This test is also known as Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT).

The Glucose Tolerance Test is ordered to find Type-2 diabetes in a person or if an expecting woman has gestational diabetes. If you are pregnant and have a body-mass index, that is more than 30kg/meter square, you may be having gestational diabetes. If you are an expecting woman and your parent/sibling has diabetes, then that ups the risk of gestational diabetes for you as the expecting mother.
All pregnant women should be tested for gestational diabetes millitus with a 50-g dose at 24 to 28 weeks of pregnancy; if that is abnormal, OGTT should be performed for confirmation and is gold standard for diagnosis of gestational DM.
The Glucose Tolerance Test is generally scheduled early in the morning. This ensures that the person completes fasting of atleast 8 hours after dinner. The doctor also may ask you to go off birth control pills and diuretics for avoiding results to be affected by their presence in the body. If you are on drugs for any mental disorder or neurological problems, those medications need to be discontinued with the doctor's consent.
A blood sample is taken from the person's arm for testing. If you are a pregnant woman getting yourself tested for diabetes, you may be asked to do 8 hour fasting. You will be asked to drink about 100 grams of sugar. The blood sugar levels are checked in 3 hours. If type-2 diabetes is being checked, the person is made to drink 75 grams of sugar and blood sugar levels are checked after 2 hours.
Normal blood sugar levels for Type-2 diabetes is less than 140 mg/dL. Blood sugar levels that are in range of 140mg/dl- 199 mg/dl are precursors to type-2 diabetes. Likewise, a blood sugar level below 95 mg/dl is normal for pregnant women. Any blood sugar levels that range in 140 mg/dl-180 mg/dl are considered as abnormal and the woman is diagnosed with gestational diabetes. Elevated blood glucose levels could be as a result of a stroke or a heart attack. In some cases, HbA1c test may be ordered instead of GTT test.
