The 3-hour glucose tolerance test is used to determine how well a person's body processes glucose. Glucose is the sugar the body uses for energy. This test is designed to measure how quickly glucose is cleared out of the body over a period of time by measuring glucose levels in blood samples taken at regular intervals after the ingestion of a glucose solution. This type of testing is typically done to aid in the diagnosis of type 2 diabetes. A glucose tolerance test is typically ordered when someone is believed to be at risk for diabetes. This test provides more information than a 2-hour glucose tolerance test by measuring additional blood samples.

Fasting for 10-12 hours required. Three days prior to testing discontinue all nonessential medication that can affect glucose metabolism. Check with physician before stopping any medications. This test requires four blood draws. The first will be taken when you arrive at the lab. You will then be given a glucose solution to drink. 3 subsequent collections will be taken at 1-hour intervals. You will be required to remain at the lab until the final collection is taken.
