My pregnancy app showed that the glucose tolerance test is typically scheduled between 24 and 28 weeks. You can log your daily food intake on a tracker to keep an eye on things until your test date.

I had gestational diabetes, and my doc had me test sugar around the 24th week using that glucose drink test. Be careful with high-carb foods now, and strictly follow the test timeline your doctor suggests.

Doctors usually do the screening around 6 months or 24-28 weeks. It's a very standard test, so just stay positive and eat healthy, natural meals.

Oh God, I panicked so much when my doctor ordered the blood sugar test, I thought something was wrong! But actually, it is just a routine check done for everyone around the 2nd trimester. It turned out completely normal for me, so relax.

Actually, doctors ask for it around the 24th week, yaar. I had to drink that super sweet glucose liquid, it was so weird! Just ask your doctor in your next visit, normal hai.

This depends entirely on your medical history, so please check with your gynac. They will tell u exactly which week you need the fasting and post-meal sugar tests.
