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

    The Glucose Challenge Test (GCT) serves as a screening method for detecting gestational diabetes in pregnant individuals. This condition occurs when the body has difficulty processing glucose (sugar) appropriately. Normally, insulin enables cells to absorb glucose for energy, but during pregnancy, hormonal fluctuations can hinder insulin's efficacy. This may result in elevated blood sugar levels, indicative of gestational diabetes.

    The GCT is generally performed between the 24th and 28th weeks of pregnancy, as this is when the likelihood of developing gestational diabetes increases. If there are further risk factors, such as a family history of diabetes or obesity, doctors might suggest the test be conducted earlier.

    In the Glucose Challenge Test (GCT), the patient is instructed to drink a glucose solution that contains 75 grams of glucose. After two hours, a blood sample is taken to evaluate blood sugar levels.

    One of the key benefits of the GCT is that it does not require fasting, which is convenient for pregnant mothers. Detecting gestational diabetes early through the GCT allows for prompt management of blood sugar, helping to avoid complications like pre-eclampsia, premature delivery, or the need for a C-section.

    The Glucose Challenge blood test is a widely used prenatal screening option in Hyderabad. For your convenience, you can schedule a Glucose Challenge Test (75 g) with Orange Health Labs and have it done at home.

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

    The Glucose Challenge Test (75 g) in Hyderabad evaluates just one parameter: blood glucose levels taken two hours after ingesting a 75-gram glucose solution.

    The purpose of this test is to evaluate how effectively the body processes glucose by measuring the residual glucose levels in the bloodstream after two hours. Normally, insulin is released during this time, facilitating the transport of glucose from the blood into cells for energy or storage. In a healthy individual, blood sugar levels are expected to return to normal by the end of this period. The GCT assesses the efficiency of this glucose management system.

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

    Here are some important points to keep in mind before booking a Glucose Challenge test at home:

    • Prerequisites

    You do not need to fast prior to the Glucose Challenge Test. You should drink a 75-gram glucose solution as directed, and blood glucose levels will be measured two hours after consumption.

    • Best Time to Get Tested

    The test can be scheduled at any time during the day.

    • Who Should Get This Test?

    This test is commonly recommended for pregnant women between 24 and 28 weeks gestation to check for gestational diabetes. It may also be suggested for those with a family history of diabetes or other associated risk factors.

    • Cautions Before Taking This Test

    No additional preparation is required beyond following the provided instructions and consuming the glucose solution as directed.

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

    The Glucose Challenge Test (GCT) serves as an important screening method for detecting gestational diabetes during pregnancy. This type of diabetes can develop while pregnant, and early detection allows doctors to manage the condition effectively, minimising risks for both the mother and the baby. Should GCT results show elevated levels, further testing will be conducted to confirm the diagnosis of gestational diabetes.

    Recent research has revealed that the GCT may also serve as an indicator of heart disease risk. Women with higher GCT scores often demonstrate increased fasting glucose, cholesterol, and triglyceride levels, as well as decreased levels of beneficial cholesterol and adiponectin postpartum. This means that the GCT can assist in identifying women who may face a higher risk of heart problems in the future, underlining its importance for long-term health.

    Thus, the GCT is crucial for managing gestational diabetes and also provides valuable information regarding long-term cardiovascular well-being.

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

    The 2-hour Glucose Challenge Test (75 g) measures your blood sugar level two hours after ingesting a 75-gram glucose solution. Normal results are considered to be below 140 mg/dL.

    A blood sugar level within this range indicates that your glucose metabolism is working as it should. However, if your level reaches 140 mg/dL or above, it may point to gestational diabetes or other glucose processing issues. High blood sugar levels can suggest that your body is not handling glucose effectively. This test is often part of standard pregnancy screenings and is crucial for managing and preventing complications.
