for the test

75 grams of glucose-containing drink for an oral glucose tolerance test.

A simple solution

for the oral glucose tolerance test

During the test, the patient must drink a locally prepared, nauseatingly sweet solution containing 75g of glucose, which many find difficult. That’s why we developed the single-serving GERO-DEX drink, which contains exactly 75g of glucose as prescribed – it is bottled, flavored, refrigerable, and ready to drink.

Convenient

No more need for on-site preparation! This saves you time and reduces the workload for healthcare staff. Just open the bottle and drink!

Accurate

When preparing the glucose solution on-site, spillage, glucose powder left in the packet, or undissolved sediment at the bottom of the glass can occur, potentially affecting the accuracy of the test results. GERO-DEX contains the prescribed 75 grams of dissolved glucose, ensuring both precise and consistent measurement results.

Pleasant taste

No more struggling with the nauseatingly sweet taste; the mildly lemon-flavored, pleasant GERO-DEX is easy to consume. For an even better experience, we recommend enjoying it chilled!

When is the

oral glucose tolerance test recommended?

The oral glucose tolerance test is used to assess the body’s carbohydrate metabolism, determining how the body processes glucose. This helps diagnose diabetes, prediabetes, and other disorders.

To rule out gestational diabetes, the test is routinely performed between the 24th and 28th weeks of pregnancy, or as directed by the attending physician.

If there is a history of carbohydrate metabolism disorders in the family, such as diabetes or insulin resistance.

At the discretion of the attending physician, in case of suspicion of any carbohydrate metabolism disorder.
