Glucose tolerance is the body’s ability to reverse a dramatic rise in blood glucose and restore glucose to normal levels. For instance, soon after a person ingests a large amount of sugar, the blood-glucose level may rise above 200 mg/dL. With good glucose tolerance, that level will drop below 140 mg/dL within two hours and stabilize at 80 to 115 mg/dL soon afterward.
