Remember that a glucose tolerance test is performed on every pregnant patient. Sometimes we need to do an early glucose tolerance test at 16 weeks if a patient has a high-risk history, just to pick up the cases earlier in the pregnancy. If this early GTT is normal then these women should have another glucose tolerance test at 26 to 28 weeks.
