    What is Glucose Challenge Test (75 g) - 2 hours Test?

    The Glucose Challenge Test (GCT) is a screening test used to detect gestational diabetes during pregnancy, a condition where the body does not process glucose (sugar) properly. In normal conditions, the body uses insulin to help cells absorb glucose for energy, but during pregnancy, hormonal changes interfere with insulin’s effectiveness. This leads to an increase in blood sugar levels, known as gestational diabetes.

    The GCT is typically performed between the 24th and 28th week of pregnancy, as this is when gestational diabetes is most likely to develop. However, in cases where there are additional risk factors, such as a family history of diabetes or obesity, doctors may recommend taking the test earlier.

    During the test, the patient is asked to drink a glucose solution containing 75 grams of glucose. Two hours later, a blood sample is taken to measure the body's blood sugar levels.

    One of the advantages of the GCT is that it does not require fasting, making it convenient for pregnant women. Early detection of gestational diabetes through the GCT allows for timely management of blood sugar levels, which can prevent complications such as preeclampsia, premature birth, or the need for a C-section.

    The Glucose Challenge blood test is a standard prenatal screening readily accessible in Bangalore. For added convenience, you can schedule a Glucose Challenge Test (75 g) near me with Orange Health Labs and have it performed at your home.

    Glucose Challenge Test (75 g) - 2 hours Test Parameters

    The Glucose Challenge Test (75 g) in Bangalore measures a single parameter: blood glucose levels 2 hours after consuming a 75-gram glucose solution.

    This test evaluates how well the body processes glucose by checking the amount of glucose remaining in the bloodstream after this period. Typically, the body releases insulin during these two hours, which helps transport glucose from the blood into cells for energy or storage. In a healthy response, blood sugar levels should return to normal by the end of this timeframe. The GCT is designed to assess the effectiveness of this glucose management process.

    Glucose Challenge Test (75 g) - 2 hours Test Preparation

    Consider the following before scheduling a Glucose Challenge test at home:

    • Prerequisites

    No fasting is required before the Glucose Challenge Test. You will need to consume a 75-gram glucose solution as directed, and the test will measure your blood glucose levels two hours after drinking it.

    • Best Time to Get Tested

    This test can be scheduled at any time of day.

    • Who Should Get This Test?

    It is commonly recommended for pregnant women between 24 and 28 weeks of pregnancy to screen for gestational diabetes. It may also be advised for individuals with a family history of diabetes or other risk factors.

    • Cautions Before Taking This Test

    No special preparation is needed beyond following the test instructions and drinking the glucose solution as directed.

    Why Take the Glucose Challenge Test (75 g) - 2 hours Test?

    The Glucose Challenge Test (GCT) is an important screening tool used during pregnancy to detect gestational diabetes, a type of diabetes that can develop during pregnancy. Identifying gestational diabetes early allows doctors to manage it effectively, which helps minimise risks for both the mother and the baby. If the GCT results are elevated, further testing will confirm whether gestational diabetes is present.

    Recently, it has been found that GCT can also predict the risk of heart disease. Women with higher GCT results often have higher levels of fasting glucose, cholesterol, and triglycerides, and lower levels of good cholesterol and adiponectin after pregnancy. This means that the GCT can also help identify women at higher risk for heart problems later in life, making it important for long-term health.

    Therefore, the GCT is crucial for managing gestational diabetes and can provide insights into long-term cardiovascular health.

    Glucose Challenge Test (75 g) - 2 hours Test Results and Interpretation

    The 2-hour Glucose Challenge Test (75 g) measures your blood sugar level two hours after consuming a 75-gram glucose drink. The normal value for this test is less than 140 mg/dL.

    If your blood sugar level is within 140 mg/dL, it indicates that your glucose metabolism is functioning normally. However, if your level is 140 mg/dL or higher, it may suggest gestational diabetes or another issue with how your body processes glucose. Elevated blood sugar levels indicate that your body might not be handling glucose effectively. This test is usually part of routine pregnancy screenings and helps manage and prevent potential complications.

    • The best experience I have had in the last two weeks with multiple tests booked for different family members. From the moment I contacted them till the receipt of the results and re-bookings for follow up tests, everything was fantastic. Pls note the sample taking covered early morning visit, for a patient aged 90+!! Initially I had made the big mistake of contacting another big-noise, big-ad spending Lab service provider based on a Google search of a particular test resulting in its top of page listing, and was utterly disgusted with that Labs' service. I would fully recommend Orange for anyone - possibly any test, any age patient. Thank you Orange Labs.
