Glucose Tolerance Test (1-Hour)

The Gestational Glucose 1-Hour Test is a pregnancy glucose screening performed between 24 and 28 weeks of gestation to check for gestational diabetes.

During the test, you drink a glucose solution, and your blood sugar is measured one hour later. Symptoms of gestational diabetes can include increased thirst, frequent urination, and fatigue, though many women may have no symptoms at all.

This prenatal screening is crucial for early detection and management of gestational diabetes. Identifying the condition early helps reduce the risk of complications for both the mother and the developing baby, ensuring a healthier pregnancy and smoother delivery.
