The glucose challenge test, also called the one-hour glucose tolerance test, measures the body's response to sugar, called glucose. The glucose challenge test is done during pregnancy. The purpose of this test is to check for diabetes that develops during pregnancy. That condition is called gestational diabetes. The test is done in two steps.

To find out whether 50 g oral glucose challenge test (OGCT) is an effective screening test for all pregnant women between 24 and 28 weeks gestation. A 50 g OGCT test was administered to 307 unselected women at 24–28 weeks of gestation.

2023年2月28日 · The oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) measures how well the body can break down and use sugar (glucose) as well as clear it from the bloodstream. It's also called a glucose tolerance test and is safe for adults and children.

2020年10月25日 · The document outlines oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTT) and oral glucose challenge tests (OGCT), including their history, procedures, interpretations, and differences. The OGTT involves fasting overnight then drinking a glucose solution and having blood drawn over 2 hours to assess diabetes risk or diagnosis.

2024年5月3日 · The glucose tolerance test measures the body's response to sugar, also called glucose. Another name for this test is the oral glucose tolerance test. This test can be used to screen for type 2 diabetes or prediabetes before you have symptoms of either condition. Or it can help find out whether diabetes is causing existing symptoms.

Aim: To find out whether 50 g oral glucose challenge test (OGCT) is an effective screening test for all pregnant women between 24 and 28 weeks gestation. Method: A 50 g OGCT test was administered to 307 unselected women at 24-28 weeks of gestation. When venous plasma glucose (VPG) concentration after 1 h was >7.8 mmol/l, OGCT was positive.
