CertifiedLabsThis test checks how well your body handles sugar. You drink a measured sweet liquid containing 75 grams of glucose, and a blood sample is taken 2 hours later to see how your body has cleared the sugar. The 75 gram glucose challenge test (2 hours) measures your blood sugar 2 hours after the sweet drink. It helps detect diabetes and, in pregnancy, gestational diabetes.
