Con il termine glicemia si intende la concentrazione di glucosio all’interno del sangue. Questa sostanza è fondamentale per il nostro organismo in quanto nutre le cellule, è importante però che rimanga sempre entro un certo range di valori per evitare una condizione di iperglicemia, condizione potenzialmente pericolosa per la salute. Il nostro corpo ha un fine sistema di regolazione che gli permette di mantenere il livello glicemico entrp determinati range sia a digiuno che dopo un pasto, grazie al rilascio di un ormone, l’insulina, che consente l’assorbimento del glucosio da parte delle cellule, riducendone così la concentrazione ematica. I valori glicemici a digiuno si attestano normalmente intorno a 60-75 mg/dl, mentre nella fase postprandiale salgono a 130-150 mg/dl.

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.
