The Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT) with 75g Glucose (3-Sample) is a standard diagnostic test primarily used to screen and confirm Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) in pregnant women, as well as to diagnose Diabetes Mellitus or Prediabetes in non-pregnant adults.
This test involves measuring the body's ability to clear a large amount of glucose from the bloodstream over a two-hour period, requiring three precisely timed blood draws.
At Augmentum Diagnostics, an NABL-accredited lab in Delhi, we follow the stringent International Association of Diabetes and Pregnancy Study Groups (IADPSG) criteria for GDM diagnosis, ensuring accurate and reliable results.
This test measures the glucose concentration in your blood at three specific time points:
1st SampleFasting (0 Hour) Measures baseline glucose level before the glucose load.
2nd Sample 1 Hour Post-Glucose Measures the body's rapid insulin response to the glucose load.
3rd Sample 2 Hours Post-Glucose Measures the body's ability to process and clear the glucose over time, reflecting insulin sensitivity.
