Glucose tolerance test which is also called as oral glucose tolerance test. It measures the body's response to the sugar (glucose). It test can be used to screen for the type 2 diabetes.

The result of the Glucose tolerance test (GTT) is:

• If blood glucose level < 140 mg/dL (7.8 mmol/L), the patient is normal towards glucose intake.
• If blood glucose level lies between 140 (7.8 mmol/L) and 199 mg/dL (11 mmol/L), the patient is in the stage of the impaired glucose tolerance, or the prediabetes.
