Oral Glucose Tolerance Check by i-Screen

Oral glucose tolerance test measuring glucose and insulin levels.

Additional Information

This panel includes an oral glucose tolerance test which comprises of 3 glucose and 3 insulin serum tests at periodic intervals. It measures how your body processes glucose, a key indicator of diabetes risk and metabolic health. The test helps identify insulin resistance and potential issues with glucose metabolism. Understanding your glucose and insulin response can inform lifestyle changes to improve overall health and reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

Biomarkers Tested (7)

Glucose (Fasting) (mg/dL)

Measures blood glucose levels after fasting, indicating how well the body regulates blood sugar.

Insulin (Fasting) (µU/mL)

Measures fasting insulin levels, reflecting the pancreas's ability to regulate blood sugar.

HOMA-IR Score

Calculated score assessing insulin resistance based on fasting glucose and insulin levels.

Glucose (1hr) (mg/dL)

Measures blood glucose levels one hour after an oral glucose load.

Insulin (1hr) (µU/mL)

Measures insulin levels one hour after an oral glucose load.

Glucose (2hr) (mg/dL)

Measures blood glucose levels two hours after an oral glucose load.

Insulin (2hr) (µU/mL)

Measures insulin levels two hours after an oral glucose load.
