| glucose tolerance test |
A test used for screening for diabetes in pregnancy which involves a random oral glucose tolerance test after a 50 g. glucose (sugar) load. Giving a woman concentrated refined sugar load before testing is not recommended; she can have a physiological reaction to the glucose overload which can mimic diabetes. A Guide to Effective Care in Pregnancy and Childbirth by Enkin et al and published in 1989 indicated the oral GTT should be abandoned.
