My Oral Glucose Tolerance Test
I had my oral glucose tolerance test today at KKH. The test is a laboratory method to check how the body breaks down (metabolizes) sugar. I cannot eat or drink anything after midnight before this test. For the test, I was asked to drink a very sweet liquid containing a certain amount of glucose. My blood was taken before this, and again 2 hours after drinking the solution. The test took 3 hours to complete. If my body is able to produce enough insulin to cope with the surge of sugar then I will be fine. My gynae told me that if there's a problem, the hospital will contact me and it has been already a day after the test hopefully I'm ok.
