Has anyone got the GCT test for gestational diabetes? The one which has fasting diabetes test and then after having 75gm glucose testing diabetes again in 2 hours. So basically after fasting i had breakfast and then after 30 mins i had glucose and then after 2 hours gave sample. Have you guys also done the same way? Assistant doc told me it is fine this way. But diff people give diff opinion? can someone help?
