Overview of the Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT)

The Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT), also known as the glucose tolerance test, measures how effectively the body processes and clears glucose from the bloodstream.

How the Test is Performed

The test involves fasting followed by the consumption of a sugary solution. Blood samples are then taken at specific intervals to assess glucose metabolism.
