Take Control of Your Health with the Oral Glucose Tolerance Test
Are you concerned about diabetes risk or experiencing symptoms that worry you? The Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT) provides the clarity and confidence you need to understand your body’s glucose processing. At just ZAR 100, this essential screening test helps detect diabetes early, when intervention is most effective.
Understanding Your OGTT Test
The Oral Glucose Tolerance Test measures how efficiently your body processes sugar over time. After an overnight fast, you’ll drink a glucose solution, and we’ll measure your blood sugar levels at specific intervals. This comprehensive approach gives healthcare providers a complete picture of your glucose metabolism, far beyond what a simple fasting glucose test can reveal.
Using the advanced Hexokinase method, our testing ensures laboratory-grade accuracy you can trust for making important health decisions.
Who Should Consider This Important Test?
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms or risk factors, the OGTT could provide life-changing insights:
- Increased thirst and frequent urination
- Unexplained weight changes
- Family history of diabetes
- Previous gestational diabetes
- Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
- High blood pressure or cholesterol
- Sedentary lifestyle
- Age over 45 with additional risk factors
Many South Africans live with undiagnosed prediabetes – this test helps identify it before it progresses.

- Prevent Complications: Identify issues before they become serious health threats
