glucose tolerance test
glucose tolerance test[′glü‚kōs ¦täl·ə·rəns ‚test] (pathology) A test to measure the ability of the liver to convert glucose to glycogen. glucose tolerance test
glu·cose tol·er·ance test (GTT), a test for diabetes, or for hypoglycemic states such as may be seen, rarely, in patients with insulinomas. Following ingestion of 75-g glucose while the patient is fasting, the blood sugar promptly rises and then falls to normal within 2 hours; in diabetic patients, the increase is greater and the return to normal unusually prolonged; in hypoglycemic patients, depressed glucose levels may be observed in 3-, 4-, or 5-hour measurements.glucose tolerance test A standardized test that measures the body's response to an oral–challenge dose of glucose, which is primarily used to confirm the diagnosis of DM, and may be performed in individuals with symptoms–eg ↑ fasting glucose level, hypertriglycerdemia, neuropathy, impotence, glycosuria that are suggestive of DM; in pregnancy GTT is used to diagnose gestational DMglu·cose tol·er·ance test (GTT) (glū'kōs tol'ĕr-ăns test) A test for diabetes, or for hypoglycemic states such as may be seen rarely in patients with insulinomas. Following ingestion of 75 g of glucose while the patient is fasting, the blood sugar promptly rises and then falls to normal within 2 hours; in diabetic patients, the increase is greater and the return to normal unusually prolonged; in hypoglycemic patients, depressed glucose levels may be observed in 3-, 4-, or 5-hour measurements. glucose tolerance test A test of the body's response to a dose of glucose after a period of fasting. The blood sugar levels are measured at various intervals after the sugar is taken and the results plotted on a graph. A characteristic shape of the curve occurs in DIABETES because the blood sugar levels rise to an abnormal height and take longer than usual to return to normal. A urine test also shows sugar, in diabetes.glu·cose tol·er·ance test(GTT) (glū'kōs tol'ĕr-ăns test) Assessment for diabetes or for hypoglycemic states.
