Hi,
If you are doing a GTT, the exact amount of sugar (100g) needs to be taken for a proper evaluation. If you do it without the exact amount, available values cannot be interpreted.
If you have a risk of possibility of gestational diabetes, then get your GTT done according to standards.
Gestational diabetes mellitus leads to much riskier pregnancy if not under control.
In future there is always a risk of developing diabetes mellitus, post pregnancy.
Hope this helps.
Any further query, happy to help again.
