Gestational Diabetes Screening - Oral Glucose Challenge Test (GCT) - 50g

A screening laboratory test (initial screening) is performed on all pregnant women between weeks 24 and 28 of pregnancy. The patient drinks a solution containing 50 grams of glucose, without needing to fast beforehand. Exactly one hour later, the plasma glucose level is measured. The goal is to identify pregnant women at high risk of developing gestational diabetes who require a diagnostic glucose tolerance test (OGTT 100g).
