Fortunately, that test is being ordered more frequently now as a
SCREENING test for type II diabetes early onset as it's more indicative
than a fasting glucose. If you can catch that condition in time, it can
be corrected with diet (and Metformin) before it does irreversible
damage...

Insulin resistance with obesity is becoming more and more common
nowadays and often indicates a good chance of becoming a type II
diabetic.

A glucose tolerance test is not a bad thing, but it's kinda being phased
out now except for pre-natal workups.
