- **Normal Range**: Typically, a plasma glucose level less than 140 mg/dL (7.8 mmol/L) is considered normal 1.5 hours after consuming the glucose solution.
- **Borderline/High Risk**: Levels between 140 mg/dL and 199 mg/dL (7.8-11.0 mmol/L) may...

Normal Result: Indicates normal glucose metabolism, low risk of gestational diabetes.

Borderline/High Risk Result: Suggests impaired glucose tolerance; further testing may be required.
