Gestational Diabetes Screening
Gestational diabetes screening is standard prenatal glucose testing around twenty-four to twenty-eight weeks—follow lab prep; positive results need a care plan.
Gestational diabetes screening is routine prenatal testing—often a glucose challenge between twenty-four and twenty-eight weeks, with a follow-up oral glucose tolerance test if the first result is high. Fasting and timing instructions matter; home glucometers do not replace lab diagnosis.
Positive screens lead to nutrition, activity, and sometimes medication plans.
Common questions
-
Do you need to fast for the glucose challenge drink test?
The one-hour screen usually needs no fasting; the three-hour oral glucose tolerance test often requires overnight fasting—follow your lab slip exactly.
