Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A glucose tolerance test is performed by giving a patient a specified amount of glucose and then measuring their blood sugar levels at specified intervals (usually every 30 minutes to two hours) to determine how well their body is able to handle and regulate glucose. This test is used to diagnose diabetes and other disorders related to blood sugar levels. Fasting blood sugar, protein-bound iodine, and corticotropin tests do not involve measuring blood sugar levels after glucose intake.
