Test Details

Gestational Diabetes may develop during a women's pregnancy due to hormones being produced by the placenta. The placenta produces high levels of various other hormones which may impair the function of insulin in your cells, raising your blood sugar.

This test requires only one blood sample, however it is taken after drinking 50 grams of glucose at the laboratory. This will require you to stay at the laboratory for the full duration of the test, you are unable to leave and return to the facility.
