glucose tolerance
Blood sugar handling
Glucose tolerance is the body's ability to process sugar from the bloodstream into cells.
It's measured by tracking blood sugar levels after consuming a standardized glucose dose.
Poor glucose tolerance—when blood sugar stays elevated too long—indicates prediabetes or diabetes risk.
The test showed impaired glucose tolerance.
