Your provider may order a blood test for gestational diabetes to diagnose high blood sugar during pregnancy. High blood sugar can adversely impact the mother's and the child's health if left untreated. Blood sugar levels usually return to normal after the baby is born, but the mother's risk for developing type 2 diabetes increases.
Your provider may wish to order a Gestational Diabetes Blood Test between the 24th and 28th weeks of gestation. This is a common blood test that is recommended for most pregnant women.
You cannot take a Gestational Diabetes Blood Test at home — this test can only be administered by a medical professional at a licensed testing facility.
Once you receive the results of your blood test for gestational diabetes, you will need to consult with your provider. Only a medical professional can advise you on your blood sugar levels during pregnancy and help you develop a treatment plan if necessary.
Special requirements for the Gestational Diabetes Blood Test include drinking a glucose solution upon arrival to the testing facility, and waiting one hour after consuming the solution before collecting the blood sample. Your provider will then draw a blood sample from a vein in your arm. Gestational Diabetes Blood Test results typically take 1-2 business days to process.
