Prevent Diabetes by Catching Up with a Private GP in Buckinghamshire

Glucose tolerance test

A blood sample is taken first. The patient is then asked to drink a liquid containing glucose; and will have a blood sample taken every 30 to 60 minutes. Usually taking up to 3 hours, the test can adequately determine whether the patient has impaired glucose processing through these values: glucose amounts tallying at less than 6 millimoles-per-litre (mmol/l) before the test and less than 7.8 mmol/l after the test implies a normal reading; while values higher than 7 mmol/l before and more than 11 mmol/l indicate the presence of diabetes.

Visit a local medical professional near you today to determine if you are at the tipping point, and begin to live healthily accordingly.
