The Glucose Tolerance Test (GTT) measures the body's ability to process glucose by taking blood samples before and after consuming a glucose solution, commonly used to diagnose diabetes or gestational diabetes.
An appointment is required for this test. Please phone your nearest Dorevitch Pathology collection centre to make arrangements.
On arrival at our collection centre, a blood sample will be taken from you by one of our trained collecting staff. You will then be asked to drink a sweet glucose drink and blood will be collected one and two hours later. May we suggest you bring a book to read to help pass the time and a snack to have after your test.
Please note that you will be required to remain in the collection centre for the duration of the test.
