insulin tolerance test, a test of the body's ability to use insulin, in which insulin is given and blood glucose is measured at regular intervals. Thirty minutes after the insulin is administered, blood glucose level is usually lower but not less than half of the fasting glucose level. Glucose levels usually return to normal after about 90 minutes. In people who have hypoglycemia, the glucose levels may drop lower and be slower to return to normal.
