OGTT 0′ 120′ Glucose Tolerance Test in London
The Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT) 0′ 120′ is a specialised blood test used to assess how effectively your body processes glucose and regulates blood sugar levels. By measuring glucose levels while fasting and again two hours after consuming a glucose solution, this test helps identify diabetes, prediabetes, insulin resistance, and other disorders of glucose metabolism. Ideal for individuals at risk of diabetes or those requiring further investigation of blood sugar control, this test is available at Medical Diagnosis Victoria (MDX Victoria) in London, with results typically available within 4 hours.
OGTT 0′ 120′
The oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) is a diagnostic blood test used to evaluate how your body processes glucose. It measures blood sugar levels at two key points: fasting (0′) and two hours after consuming a glucose solution (120′). This test is essential for diagnosing conditions such as diabetes and prediabetes.

What Is Included?
This profile provides a comprehensive evaluation of how your body processes sugar over a standardized two hour period.
Baseline Glucose Profile
Evaluates your fasting blood glucose level before any sugar is consumed, establishing your metabolic baseline.
Detecting elevated fasting glucose levels which may indicate impaired baseline insulin response.
Post-Load Glucose Profile
Measures your blood glucose level exactly two hours after consuming a standardized high-glucose solution.
Assessing how effectively your body produces insulin to clear excess glucose from the bloodstream over time.
Metabolic Diagnosis
The combination of both readings allows clinicians to categorize your glucose tolerance accurately.
Diagnosing diabetes, prediabetes, or gestational diabetes based on established threshold values.
Understanding Your Glucose Tolerance Test
The OGTT provides a more comprehensive assessment than a simple fasting glucose test alone. While a fasting test shows your baseline, the 120 minute post-load test actively challenges your pancreas to produce insulin. This dynamic testing method is highly sensitive for identifying early stage insulin resistance or gestational diabetes before fasting levels become permanently elevated.
How To Read Your Laboratory Results
Your results will list your values alongside standard reference ranges. If a result falls outside the range, it is noted for review. Important: A single out-of-range value does not automatically indicate a medical problem. Results must be assessed in conjunction with your medical history and clinical examination.
Results Timeline: Profile metrics are typically available within just 4 hours of the final sample collection. Once your results are ready, they will be securely shared with you.
