OGTT , Glucose tolerance test for pregnancy.

On wed, 15 Oct, 2014, OGTT was done. It is Glucose tolerance test to confirm gestational diabetes during pregnancy.

She took morning fasting blood sample and later after a morning meal following 3 hrs in each hour took a blood sample for test. It was 3 hrs test, how much meal to taken, it wasn't mentioned. She took a normal rice, lentils and vegetables. After the meal, I took her for more a less 30 minutes walk before she takes a first hour blood sample. After that, in between hours, she had been drinking warm waters. At almost 1:30 pm, the blood taking was finished.

The readings was in normal range. The lab staff asked us how much did she taken food during the meal. My thought is still in that.

When I reported to the doctor the next day in the hospital. She found ok, and for weight gain, she prescribed LRzin which is a 3 gm protein with Folic acid and zinc. She asked to continue all other inputs my wife has been taking.
