How Often the Test Is Done During Your Pregnancy. Women get glucose testing at 26 to 28 weeks. Some women also get testing for glucose in early pregnancy if they have additional risk factors. If it turns out that you have diabetes, you'll get regular testing for the rest of your pregnancy. Your doctor may do an A1C blood test at your first prenatal check-up.
The oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was the gold standard for making the diagnosis of type 2 diabetes. It is still commonly used during pregnancy for diagnosing gestational diabetes. With an oral glucose tolerance test, the person fasts overnight (at least 8 hours, but not more than 16 hours). The next morning, the fasting plasma glucose is tested. After this test, the person receives a dose of oral glucose (the dose depends upon the length of the test). There are several methods employed by obstetricians to do this test, but the one described here is standard. Usually, the glucose is in a sweet-tasting liquid that the person drinks.
