What does Glucose Challenge Test (50 Gms of glucose) measure?
The Glucose Challenge Test measures how the body processes a 50 g glucose load by assessing blood glucose levels afterward. It may be used as a screening test during pregnancy to identify people who may need further evaluation for gestational diabetes. It can also help healthcare professionals assess glucose handling in the appropriate clinical context. Results are interpreted along with pregnancy status, medical history, and other relevant tests.
