If you have an indication for the glucose test, you will receive a referral from us from 24 weeks. This test checks whether you have gestational diabetes. With this test you are tested sober, then you have to drink a sugar drink and your blood is tested again after two hours. We can then see from the blood values whether your body is sufficiently able to process the sugars in time. If your values are too high, you have gestational diabetes. Usually this is controlled by a diet, which is prescribed by a dietician.
