1. Glucose tolerance test

   The glucose tolerance test (GTT, not to be confused with GGT test) is a medical test in which glucose is given and blood samples taken afterward to determine how quickly it is cleared from the blood. The test is usually used to test for diabetes, insulin resistance, impaired beta cell function, and sometimes reactive hypoglycemia and acromegaly, or rarer disorders of carbohydrate metabolism. In the most commonly performed version of the test, an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), a standard dose of glucose is ingested by mouth and blood levels are checked two hours later. Many variations of the GTT have been devised over the years for various purposes, with different standard doses of glucose, different routes of administration, different intervals and durations of sampling, and various substances measured in addition to blood glucose.

It is commonly used to diagnose conditions like diabetes and insulin resistance. During the test, a person is given a certain amount of glucose and their blood sugar levels are monitored at different intervals afterwards. Normal results generally indicate the body is processing glucose effectively, while abnormal results can indicate conditions like diabetes or pre-diabetes.
