Glucose Test during pregnancy (MGTT)

If you are pregnant or planning to conceive, it might be good idea to start educating yourself on watching your diet especially your sugar intake to prevent complications to the fetus.

Basically the test is done once unless there are family history or age factor which may warrant a second test in the third trimester.
