oral glucose tolerance test (ogtt) for detecting prediabetes
The oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) is a diagnostic procedure used to identify prediabetes in individuals. It involves consuming a glucose solution and measuring blood sugar levels at various intervals to assess how effectively the body manages glucose. This test helps detect early signs of prediabetes, a condition in which blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not high enough to be classified as diabetes.
