Hello doctor,I am 34 years old and 28 weeks pregnant. This is my second child. Last week I was asked to do a glucose tolerance test and hba1c. The values are 143 and 5.2 respective ly. Am I at high risk of developing gestational diabetes? I was asked to take 75 g and take the test after two hours. Couldn't meet my doctor as she is out of station.
Hello,These tests are done to rule out gestational diabetes in pregnancy. In your case, they are within the limit, so you don't need to worry. It's an important test to rule out diabetes in pregnancy. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.Regards,Dr. Mandavi Rai
