A glucose tolerance test in medical practice is the administration of glucose to determine how quickly it is cleared from the blood. The test is usually used to test for diabetes, insulin resistance, and sometimes reactive hypoglycemia.

The test may be performed as part of a panel of tests, such as the comprehensive metabolic panel.
