Glucose tolerance test


My doctor says I need a glucose challenge test to see if I  have diabetes. Do you think I need the test? I am a 54-year-old male with no medical problems

Change your doctor, he/she is a first rate fool. Glucose challenge test is rarely done today. The only reason I can think of is financial gain. It is sometimes done during pregnancy. If the doctor thinks you have diabetes, the better test is to measure the hemoglobin A1c. It is not only cheaper, but faster and the results are available in less than an hour. Stop going to see this bum. He is only interested in your money and not your health.
