A test 4 Diabetes: A GTT is used if there is a suspicion of diabetes. A glucose level is checked 1st, then the person drinks a standardized drink with sugar, and then two hours later the glucose is checked again. If glucose >200 the patient has Diabetes (type II) whereas 140-200 indicates "pre-diabetes" (at high risk for developing diabetes)
