Tests for gestational diabetes

If you think you have gestational diabetes, don't worry, a medical team will test you to see if you do.


Gestational diabetes is detected between 24 and 28 weeks of pregnancy using a relatively simple and quick test. They will measure your blood sugar levels in an oral glucose tolerance test.


You are then asked to ingest a large amount of glucose at one time, and then the test is done by taking two blood samples, one hour and then two hours after ingestion.


A single blood glucose value equal to or higher than the defined thresholds establishes the diagnosis.

This gestational diabetes test it a punishment to a pregnant woman. I have an appointment at 10 am. It only 7 :40 am and I'm about to throw up because I'm hungry. I really don't care I'm about to eat.

If I went over the expected range on the gestational diabetes test does that mean I have to do the 3 hour test one now? I went over 5 numbers on the standard range
