    What is Glucose Challenge Test (75 g) - 2 hours Test?

    The Glucose Challenge Test (GCT) is a screening test designed to identify gestational diabetes during pregnancy. This condition is characterised by the body's inability to properly process glucose (sugar). In normal conditions, insulin helps cells in absorbing glucose for energy; however, during pregnancy, hormonal changes can impair the action of insulin. This leads to elevated blood sugar levels, referred to as gestational diabetes.

    The GCT is usually carried out between the 24th and 28th weeks of pregnancy, the time when gestational diabetes is most likely to occur. However, if there are other risk factors, such as a family history of diabetes or obesity, doctors may recommend conducting the test earlier.

    During the GCT, the patient is required to drink a glucose solution containing 75 grams of glucose. A blood sample is then taken two hours later to check blood sugar levels.

    One of the advantages of the GCT is that it does not require fasting, making it easier for pregnant women to take the test. Early detection of gestational diabetes through this test enables timely management of blood sugar, which can help prevent issues such as pre-eclampsia, premature birth, or the requirement for a C-section.

    The Glucose Challenge blood test is a standard prenatal screening available in Gurgaon. For your convenience, you can book a Glucose Challenge Test (75 g) with Orange Health Labs and have it conducted at your home.

    Glucose Challenge Test (75 g) - 2 hours Test Parameters

    The Glucose Challenge Test (75 g) in Gurgaon focuses on one specific measurement: blood glucose levels recorded two hours after the consumption of a 75-gram glucose solution.

    This test measures the body's ability to process glucose by checking how much glucose remains in the bloodstream after two hours. During this time, the body typically secretes insulin, which helps move glucose from the blood into cells for energy or storage. A healthy response would see blood sugar levels returning to normal by the end of this timeframe. The GCT is intended to evaluate how effectively this glucose regulation occurs.

    Glucose Challenge Test (75 g) - 2 hours Test Preparation

    Before you schedule a Glucose Challenge test at home, take the following considerations into account:

    • Prerequisites

    There is no need to fast before the Glucose Challenge Test. You will be required to drink a 75-gram glucose solution as instructed, and your blood glucose levels will be assessed two hours later.

    • Best Time to Get Tested

    You can schedule this test at any time that suits you during the day.

    • Who Should Get This Test?

    The test is generally recommended for pregnant women between 24 and 28 weeks to screen for gestational diabetes. It may also be recommended for individuals with a family history of diabetes or other risk factors.

    • Cautions Before Taking This Test

    No special preparations are necessary aside from following the test instructions and drinking the glucose solution as advised.

    Why Take the Glucose Challenge Test (75 g) - 2 hours Test?

    The Glucose Challenge Test (GCT) is a key screening tool during pregnancy, aimed at detecting gestational diabetes, which can develop during this time. Early identification of this condition allows for effective management, reducing potential risks to both the mother and her child. If the GCT results are elevated, additional testing will be necessary to confirm the presence of gestational diabetes.

    Moreover, recent studies indicate that the GCT can also predict heart disease risk. Women who have higher GCT results typically show elevated fasting glucose, cholesterol, and triglyceride levels, along with lower levels of beneficial cholesterol and adiponectin after giving birth. This suggests that the GCT can identify women at an increased risk of heart-related issues later in life, which is critical for long-term health.

    In summary, the GCT is essential for managing gestational diabetes and can also provide insights into future cardiovascular health.

    Glucose Challenge Test (75 g) - 2 hours Test Results and Interpretation

    The 2-hour Glucose Challenge Test (75 g) assesses your blood sugar levels two hours after consuming a 75-gram glucose drink. The normal value for this test is less than 140 mg/dL.

    If your blood sugar level is below 140 mg/dL, it indicates that your glucose metabolism is functioning normally. A level of 140 mg/dL or higher may suggest gestational diabetes or other issues with glucose handling. Elevated blood sugar levels imply that your body may not be processing glucose effectively. This test is usually included in routine pregnancy screenings to aid in managing and preventing potential complications.

Had a fresh N93 mask and removed shoes outside home. He didn't touch anything after entering and started wearing all his gears which I noticed was unpacked and fresh. Very neatly took swab, disposed the gears separately in his bag and left. Thorough professional. Also, got report within time. Quick and prompt service.
