Gestational Diabetes Normal level
Screening test might differ a bit depending on the healthcare provider, but normally consist of:
You will drink a syrup made of glucose solution. One hour after, you will have a blood test that will measure your blood glucose level. A blood glucose level of 190 milligrams per deciliter (mg/Dl) or 10.6 millimoles per liter (mmol/L) shows gestational diabetes. a blood glucose less than 140 mg/Dl (7.8 mmol/L) is mostly considered normal on a sugar challenge test, therefore this might vary by lab or clinic. If your blood glucose test is increasing in comparison to normal, you will need another glucose tolerance test to find if you have such a condition.
Follow-up glucose tolerance testing: This test is just the same as the first test, except the sugary solution will have more sugar and your blood sugar will be checked almost every hour for almost three hours. You will be diagnosed with gestational diabetes.
