Purpose:
The Glucose Tolerance Test (GTT) assesses how well the body processes glucose, commonly used to diagnose conditions like diabetes and gestational diabetes.

Risk Factors for GDM:

The normal values for the 3-hour GTT are:
Fasting: < 95 mg/dL (5.3 mmol/L)
1 hour: < 180 mg/dL (10.0 mmol/L)
2 hours: < 155 mg/dL (8.6 mmol/L)
3 hours: < 140 mg/dL (7.8 mmol/L)
Diagnosis of GDM: Gestatio...

Normal Results: If all the glucose levels are within the normal range, the patient does not have gestational diabetes.
Abnormal Results: If two or more of the glucose measurements are above the normal range, gestational diabetes is diagnosed.
