One hour screening test for gestational diabetes
About 2-3% of women will develop gestational diabetes.
Since women with gestational diabetes have a higher risk of losing their baby or having a baby with malformations, diagnosis and treatment of gestational diabetes is important.
Pregnant women are screened for gestational diabetes at 28 weeks using a modified glucose tolerance test.
Patients are given a 50 gm dose of Glucola, and blood is collected for glucose testing one hour later.
If the glucose level is greater than 140 mg/dl, a 3 hour glucose tolerance test is required to confirm the diagnosis of gestational diabetes.
