The 1-Hour Glucose Challenge Test (GCT) after a 75g glucose load is a simplified version of the standard Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT). It is primarily used as a screening tool for Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) in pregnant women.
GDM is a type of diabetes that develops or is first recognized during pregnancy. The GCT assesses how effectively the mother's body can process a standard load of glucose within one hour, which helps identify those who require further, more extensive testing.
At Augmentum Diagnostics, an NABL Accredited Lab in Delhi, we perform the GCT with strict adherence to standard protocols, ensuring reliable screening results for expectant mothers.
