Alright. =A0For this dummy, what is a GTT?????

You're not a dummy for not knowing jargon & acronyms!

GTT=3D Glucose Tolerance Test.
You take a specific slug of glucose & have blood drawn before & at
specif=
ic
intervals after & see your bg results. It can indicate a
glucose-handling problem -- spike & crash; spike & not-come-down; etc.

BJ, what are the Dx criteria for GTT? Is it 200+ BG at a specific time
point or 200 at any point during the test. I've never been quite clear
on that.

I had a GTT a few years before I was dx'd with T2. Don't remember the
numbers, but after my dx, my GP told me to never have a GTT again.
