Patient's question:
I am 27 weeks pregnant and have been taking Apgar for 3 days. In a few days, I will need to do a glucose tolerance test. However, I don't know if Apgar tablets, as well as the vitamins I usually take, Multivitamin Iron Sugar, DHA, and calcium tablets, will affect the test results, or if I need to stop taking them before the test.What help do I need: What should I pay attention to before the glucose test?
Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: It is essential to do a glucose tolerance test. First, take a fasting blood draw. Then, drink the glucose solution prescribed by the hospital. After one hour, take the second blood draw. After two hours, take the third blood draw. After three hours, take the fourth blood draw. All blood draws are taken from the arm.
