Atlanta Gestational Diabetes Tests During Pregnancy
North Pointe OB/GYN Associates performs Gestational Diabetes tests during pregnancy for the residents of Cumming and the communities north of Atlanta. Gestational Diabetes is a type of diabetes that can develop in some women late in pregnancy (usually after the twenty-fourth week) and may be harmful to the baby, but is otherwise undetectable and without symptoms. Between twenty-six and twenty-eight weeks of pregnancy, all patients are asked to take a screening for Gestational Diabetes.
This test involves checking your blood glucose (sugar) level exactly one hour after drinking a measured amount of glucose that we supply on the visit prior to the actual test. Most pregnant women pass this screening test, and, if so, no further testing for diabetes is needed. Patients who do not pass this screening will need to take a second, more extensive test. If you do test positively for Gestational Diabetes, our doctors can come up with an individualized treatment plan to managed the condition and protect the health of your baby.
