Take Control of Your Metabolic Health with Our Glucose 1-Hour Test
Are you concerned about your blood sugar levels or experiencing symptoms that might indicate metabolic issues? Many South Africans face the silent threat of undiagnosed diabetes without even realizing it. Our Glucose 1-Hour Post 75g Load Test provides the clarity and peace of mind you deserve, helping you catch potential problems early when they’re most manageable.
Understanding Your Glucose 1-Hour Test
This specialised test measures how effectively your body processes glucose exactly one hour after consuming a standard 75g glucose solution. Unlike routine blood sugar tests, this timed assessment gives healthcare providers crucial information about your body’s immediate response to sugar intake, revealing early signs of insulin resistance or impaired glucose tolerance that might otherwise go unnoticed.
Using the advanced Hexokinase method, our testing ensures laboratory-grade accuracy you can trust for making informed health decisions.
Who Should Consider This Important Screening?
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Unexplained fatigue or energy crashes after meals
- Increased thirst and frequent urination
- Family history of diabetes or metabolic conditions
- Previous borderline blood sugar readings
- Being overweight or having a sedentary lifestyle
- Women with previous gestational diabetes
- Individuals over 45 years of age
Early detection through this test can be life-changing, helping you avoid the serious complications associated with uncontrolled diabetes.
