Usually it is done by giving the patient a liquid that is sugar rich and then after an hour the blood is drawn to check for glucose levels .If the levels are 140mg/dl then it is normal if it is more then you need to consult a doctor.

Dr. Siri Suggests...

Take a ACID FAST BACILLI (AFB) STAIN Test or Take a BIOTINADASE ( PLASMA ) Test
