You can incubate your cells with glucose, and measure the glucose and lactate concentration in the medium as function of time utilizing a colorimetric method for glucose and lactate dehydrogenase for lactate, it works
If your concern is using 'hot' labeled material, you can also use material that's labeled with stable isotope tracer methods (U-13C6). There are experts in this area that may be able to help you with this material and/or studies; I've worked with KineMed and they are stellar!
