Using your glucose monitor is the number one way you can assess how your diabetes (and your body as a whole) is doing. Testing once a day is usually not enough to truly assess the information below because your blood sugar can change very easily throughout the day, after any food and drink, after exercise, etc.
The classic oral glucose tolerance test measures blood sugar levels over a period of 3 hours. Some doctors simply get a beginning blood sample, followed by a sample 2 hours after you drink the glucose solution. If you donât have diabetes, your blood sugar levels will rise and then fall quickly. If you do have it, the levels rise higher than normal and donât come back down as fast. If the test shows that your levels are between normal and diabetic, you have what doctors call impaired glucose tolerance (IGT). People with IGT donât have diabetes yet. If you have a high blood sugar level, weight loss and exercise may help return it to normal.
