GCT (GLUCOSE CHALLENGE TEST )
During pregnancy, the glucose challenge test, or the one-hour glucose tolerance test, serves as a crucial screening tool for gestational diabetes. The process involves consuming a sugary beverage, followed by a blood sugar measurement an hour later. This test is designed to evaluate how the body handles glucose, helping identify any potential development of gestational diabetes. If the test results deviate from the established norms, further diagnostic examinations may be recommended to confirm the presence of gestational diabetes, ensuring timely and effective management for the well-being of both the mother and the baby.
