Prenatal Test VII: Glucose Sieve

The next test detects gestational diabetes.

You must attend with 10 to 12 hours of fasting. One hour after taking a glucose solution, the patient is taken a blood sample that will be analyzed in the laboratory. If the result is positive, another confirmatory test, called an oral glucose tolerance curve, should be performed.

It should be done between weeks 24 and 28. It is close to the diagnosis of gestational diabetes, a condition that can put the health of the mother and the baby at risk.
