brother what is ogtt 0min and 120min test.?
i do did blood glucose test before at polyclinic using fasting of 8hours.
really har..because many oats advertise that it lower BG
Ogtt is short for oral glucose tolerance test. It is used to screen for pre diabetes and diabetes.
They will ask you to fast for 8-10hrs.
Then draw 1st blood for the lab to test then they let you drink a whole bottle of syrup drink eg those energy drink with glucose. You will return 2 hours later and draw the 2nd blood then send to lab for test again.
The 1st blood is named 0min
2nd blood is 120min.
Both the 1st and 2nd blood have a range of reference to pass. usually 0min is 4.0 to 6.0. 120min is 4.0 to 7.7
how to tell the doctor you want this test?
because polyclinic is gov subsided organization, they dont want you to do unnecessary test for nothing
5.8
Get your own hypocount test kit? What's yr hypocount in the morning before any food and drinks (expect water)?
Depends on your current sugar state. If borderline, just abstain from sugary drink, use plain water should be sufficient

To be exact, the issue is not the consumption of sugary or starchy food. Type 2 diabetes is an issue with the pancreas secreting insulin. Morning is the most crucial, as the glucose lvl is the lowest. Diabetic have to eat or drink something of substance. Else, one might experience comatose, seizure and many more. I ever did a reading of an elderly woman with a count of 3. Luckily we arrived in time and gave her an intravenous drip of glucose and she woke up from her comatose.
The other usual stuff the doctor will tell you is lifestyle habit change. Quit alcohol, eat healthy fd and exercise, blah blah
Have a very light breakfast. Eat or drink something of sustenance. Any reading at 3 or below, you be likely out cold. Take care.
You're right that polyclinic doc won't anyhow just request the test for you.
But if your level is near 6.1 kind in your case 5.8, you can tell you are concern about having pre diabetes and would like to have a ogtt I think they will do for you.
In order to beat your diabetics, your should try to go for IF.
Stop eating after 6p.m. Fast for at least 16 hours .. you should start to eat after 12p.m next day.
Of course, have drinks like coffee or plain water.
Go for at least 2 months, you will find that your body will do great. Your body weight will drop, your stomach gets smaller and you feel more energetic. You feel better.
_Fasting Duration_
To determine the fasting duration, let's consider the following:
- You finished your last meal at 5 p.m.
- You want to eat the next day
A common fasting approach is the 16:8 method, where you fast for 16 hours and eat within an 8-hour window. To achieve this, you could:
- Fast for 16 hours after your last meal at 5 p.m., which would be:
- 5 p.m. (last meal) + 16 hours = 9 a.m. (next day)
- Alternatively, you could aim for a 12-hour fasting window:
- 5 p.m. (last meal) + 12 hours = 5 a.m. (next day)
Choose a duration that suits your needs and comfort level. If you're new to fasting, consider starting with a shorter duration and gradually increasing it.
