Glucose Test in San Vittore Olona

Tell your doctor about any medications you're consuming, including prescriptions, over-the-counter medications, and herbal remedies, before your test. Certain drugs can have an impact on blood glucose levels. Before your test, your doctor may advise you to discontinue or adjust a specific medicine's dosage temporarily.

A health care expert will use a tiny needle to draw blood from a vein in your arm. Following the insertion of the needle, a small amount of blood will be collected in a test tube or vial. You may feel a slight sting when the needle is inserted or removed.

Having a blood test poses relatively little danger. You may experience pain or bruising where the needle was inserted, but most symptoms will subside soon. You may feel dizzy after an oral glucose tolerance test.
