What test do doctors conduct to see if I have Gestational Diabetes?
Between 24-28 weeks you will be given a 50g glucose drink. Your glucose level will be checked 1 hr later to see how your body responds. It sounds like alot of sugar, but it is roughly equal to 10 jelly beans. If you pass this test you do not have gestational diabetes. If you fail this test you will have to do a 100 g fasting 3 hr glucose test to diagnose diabetes.
