[QUOTE="kitedoc, post: 1911500, member: 468714"] Hi [USER=493628]@Zaza83[/USER], In Australia at least, all pregnant women have a GTT performed at 24-28 weeks of pregnancy as this is said to be the usual time for occurrence of GD. Having quoted that (Diabetes Australia - Gestational Diabetes), the advice also says for those at increased risk of GD are to be tested earlier - patients over 40 years old; family history of T2D or first degree relative (mother, sister) with GD; > than healthy weight for state of pregnancy or rapid weight gain in first 20 weeks; certain nationalities at higher risk; past history of GD; history of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome; past baby delivered with birthweight > 4.5 kg; those prescribed some forms of anti-psychotic or steroid medication.
