Patient's question:
Booked a prenatal check-up for tomorrow, the doctor said I need to do a glucose tolerance test. I'd like to understand how the glucose tolerance test during pregnancy is done?Doctor's answer:
If it is to implement the relevant tests during pregnancy, it is a very common decision in clinical diagnosis. This glucose screening is also fine, so please relax a bit. The detailed blood sugar test is generally a relatively later check during pregnancy. Because in the early stages, the significance of the test is actually not very great. The main purpose is to check blood sugar through a fasting test. If it is normal, then an oral glucose solution of 75 grams is taken, and blood sugar is checked every half hour.
