How long does diabetes test take?

The time it takes to complete a diabetes test depends on the type of test:

• A1C Test: This is a simple blood test that takes about 5 minutes to draw blood. Results are typically available within a few days.
• Fasting Blood Sugar Test: This requires fasting for 8 hours before the blood draw, which takes about 5 minutes. Results are usually available within a day.
• Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT): This test takes about 2-3 hours, as blood is drawn before and after drinking a glucose solution. Results are typically available within a few days.

Always consult your healthcare provider for specific details about your test.
