my gtt test is coming up next month and im a bit worried about gestational diabetes since it runs in my family. matlab at which stage does the sugar usually start going up? just want to be prepared.
My pregnancy tracker app showed a reminder for the Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT) around week 24-28. That's the standard time because placental hormones block insulin action then. Definitely don't skip this screening.
Usually, the risk peaks between weeks 24 and 28 when the placenta goes crazy with hormones. Honestly, surviving that sweet glucose drink for the test is the real challenge here! Ask your doctor to schedule it for you.
Beta, gestational diabetes usually develops in the second half of pregnancy, around the sixth month. Try to avoid too much white rice, sugar, and heavy sweets from the beginning itself. Drink fenugreek water in the morning, but do check with your doctor first.
I heard it usually happens around the 24th to 28th week, which is when they do the glucose test. I was so anxious before my test and kept checking my symptoms online. Please get the test done on time so you can manage it if needed!
