About GCT Test

Why is Glucose Challenge Test Pregnancy (GCT) Done?

The main reason behind the introduction of the GCT test is to ensure healthy pregnancy and babies for pregnant women. The testing usually is recommended by doctors during the second trimester for the mothers to be, between 24 to 28 weeks. However, if the doctors recognize additional visible signs of gestational diabetes, an early screening test through GCT is carried out in the initial prenatal stage itself.

If the disease is not treated on time, it can lead to severe complications, like increased pressure, and other risk factors can also be elevated, resulting in the risk of life for both mother as well as the baby. Additionally, the risk of having a baby with increased weight is also possible, if the mother has gestational diabetes.

What does Glucose Challenge Test Pregnancy (GCT) Measure?

As a pregnant woman, a GCT test is very essential, as it measures the reaction of the pregnant woman’s body to glucose. It is used by doctors to identify any possible abnormalities in pregnant women by observing the body’s reactions and its ability to handle glucose post each meal. If anyone is looking for “GCT test near me”, you do not need much preparation, but the results can be highly crucial in determining your course of action for the treatment to reduce the risk of gestational diabetes to a bare minimum.

As this GCT test is primarily conducted during the second trimester of pregnancy, it helps in early diagnosis of the potential harm of adverse reaction of the body to glucose. It further helps reduce the possible complications in the long term for both the mother as well as the baby. It is therefore recommended to consult a doctor about getting a GCT test completed as part of your screening procedure to ensure a healthy baby.

Risk/side effects of Glucose Challenge Test Pregnancy (GCT)

Other than the stress of the GCT test price, people also stress about the potential risks or side effects involved in the medical procedure conducted for the GCT test. The process is completed with the help of a blood sample collection, which is a very less invasive procedure and thus does not pose any serious risks. However, some patients do experience initial discomforts like soreness, light bruising, dizziness, or bleeding, but none of these side effects are long-lasting and resolve very quickly.

Interpreting Glucose Challenge Test Pregnancy (GCT) Results

As important as it is to find the right GCT test, some patients also are interested to know the GCT test price in Kolkata and how to analyze the test results to have a better understanding of the health condition. If you are taking a GCT test anytime soon, here are some important pointers to remember.

  • If the test results indicate the level of glucose or sugar to be below 140 mg/dL, the test results are considered to be in range and standard for pregnant women.
  • If the test results on your GCT test indicate a glucose or sugar level to be between 140 mg/dL to any range less than 190 mg/dL, it might require the patient to participate in another three-hour glucose tolerance test to narrow down the chances for gestational diabetes.
  • If the test results indicate a level of glucose or sugar of 190 mg/dL or above, it highlights the highest potential of gestational diabetes for the patient as a conclusive diagnosis.

Between 140 mg/dL to <190 mg/dL Higher chances of diabetes, further testing required
>190 mg/dL Positive Detection of Gestational Diabetes, no further testing required

Ms Sujata arrived on time and was very polite and caring throughout the process. Actually there was a mistake on my part where I couldn't attend her calls because I was not well and i feel asleep bcoz of my medicines. I had scheduled an appointment for my mother but Ms Sujata somehow reached my address by asking my neighbours. Such a lovely girl, and also the collection process was really smooth. Would absolutely recommend everyone to check out their services
