Who should get GTT 100 gms GLUCOSE TEST done in Kanpur?

Uttar Pradesh's rising urban diabetes burden is evident in Kanpur, where a carbohydrate- and ghee-heavy diet and sedentary routines across Kakadeo, Barra, and Kidwai Nagar create metabolic risk from the mid-30s. Those who benefit most from regular GTT 100 gms GLUCOSE TEST testing include adults above 40, people with sedentary lifestyles or BMI above 25, those managing chronic conditions, smokers, and anyone whose previous result was borderline.
