During pregnancy, your body makes more hormones and goes through other changes, such as weight gain. These changes cause your body's cells to use insulin less effectively. Hence, a glucose tolerance test is mandatory to check for gestational diabetes.

Dr. Yusuf Suggests...

Take a Aml Categorization, PCR (BCR-ABL, AML-ETO, CBFB-MYH, PML-RARA) Test or Take a PROTEIN S (ACTIVITY) Test
