The 2 hour pregnancy Glucose tolerance test is a blood test that screens for Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (Diabetes in Pregnancy) in the mother. The test involves the collection of 3 blood samples, spaced one hour apart. A sugar solution of 75 grams is to be drunk after the first sample is collected. Sugar level is measured in each of the three samples. The test requires no special preparation except you having to fast for 8-12 hours before the first sample is collected. If any 2 of the 3 sugar readings are above normal, the test is positive. If less than 2 of the three readings are abnormal, the test is negative.
Background : Diabetes in pregnancy is a condition where the mother's sugar levels are higher than normal. This occurs due to various changes that take place in pregnancy. Very often it goes away on its own and does not continue after pregnancy, but in some cases it can lead to diabetes even after pregnancy. The increased sugar levels in the mother's blood, can cause damage to the baby's pancreas, as well as cause various birth abnormalities. Gestational diabetes mellitus can be treated if diagnosed on time.
