Patient's question:
I have irregular menstruation. The doctor asked me to do an OGTT test with post-meal glucose levels of 8.4 at 30 minutes, 8.20 at 60 minutes, and 6.70 at 120 minutes. Is this normal?Doctor's answer:
An oral glucose tolerance test is a glucose loading test used to assess the function of pancreatic β cells and the body's ability to regulate blood sugar. In normal individuals, blood glucose levels temporarily decrease after the excretion of carbohydrates and rise to a peak within 0.5 to 1 hour, but do not exceed 8.9 mmol/L, returning to fasting levels by 2 hours. According to your description, your test results are not a major concern. I hope the above answer is helpful to you. Thank you.
