Glucose Tolerance Screening for Gestational Diabetes.
This test measures blood glucose levels one hour after consuming a 100-gram glucose solution. It helps assess how effectively the body processes glucose and is mainly used to screen for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) during pregnancy. Note: Arogga will provide Glucose (Charge applicable)

How our test process works!
Overview
The 1 Hour After 100gm Glucose Test measures how the body processes glucose one hour after consuming 100 grams of oral glucose. It is primarily used as part of the Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT) for diagnosing Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) in pregnant women.
Risk Assessment
-
Primary use: Screening and diagnosis of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM)
-
Secondary use: Evaluation of glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity
-
High-risk individuals:
-
Pregnant women with obesity, family history of diabetes, or previous GDM
-
Individuals with unexplained macrosomia in prior pregnancy
-
Normal Range (1 hour after 100 gm glucose)
| Category | Blood Glucose (mg/dL) |
|---|---|
| Normal | < 180 mg/dL |
| Borderline / Impaired | 180–199 mg/dL |
| Abnormal / Positive for GDM | ≥ 180 mg/dL |
Interpretation
-
< 180 mg/dL: Normal glucose tolerance.
-
≥ 180 mg/dL: Indicates impaired glucose tolerance; if confirmed with other time points (fasting, 2-hour, 3-hour), may diagnose gestational diabetes.
-
Persistently high values indicate the body’s inability to efficiently utilize insulin and maintain normal glucose levels.
Sample Type
-
Specimen: Venous blood
-
Sample type: Serum or plasma
-
Collection timing: 1 hour after ingestion of 100 gm glucose solution
