Glucose Tolerance Testing (GTT), also referred to as the Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT), is a method which can help to diagnose instances of diabetes mellitus or insulin resistance. The test is a more substantial indicator of diabetes than finger prick testing and is used to determine whether the body has difficulty metabolising intake of sugar/carbohydrate. The patient is asked to consume the GlucosePro drink, and their blood glucose level is measured before and at intervals after the sugary drink is taken.

This can be a useful test in helping to diagnose; pre-diabetes, gestational diabetes in pregnancy, insulin resistance and/or reactive hypoglycaemia. Having access to accurate results allows for quick treatment decisions to be made, which could be crucial when dealing with suspected diabetes. There are 3.9 million people who have been diagnosed with diabetes in the UK (2019). It is estimated that there are up to half a million more people in the UK who have diabetes but have not been diagnosed.
