Suggest Chances Of Being Detected As Diabetic After Glucose Test During Pregnancy
Hi, I can understand your concerns. You are overweight. Was the glucose test done after fasting or after meal ? If its a random blood glucose test then the value is on the higher side and chances of you being diagnosed as diabetic are high. Nevertheless i will recommend you to undergo the glucose tolerance test as its more accurate and will confirm the findings. Regards Dr Biswas MD
