Protect Your Pregnancy Journey with Essential Gestational Diabetes Screening
We understand the mix of excitement and concern that comes with pregnancy. The Glucose Tolerance Test (GTT) is your partner in ensuring both you and your baby stay healthy throughout this precious journey. For just ZAR 150, gain peace of mind knowing you’re taking proactive steps toward a healthy pregnancy outcome.
Understanding Your Glucose Tolerance Test
The GTT Pregnancy Test measures how your body processes sugar during pregnancy. After an overnight fast, you’ll drink a glucose solution, and we’ll measure your blood sugar levels at specific intervals. This helps us identify gestational diabetes early, when it’s most manageable. Our hexokinase method ensures laboratory-grade accuracy you can trust.
Who Should Take This Important Pregnancy Test?
This test is recommended for pregnant women experiencing:
- Excessive thirst or frequent urination
- Unexplained fatigue or blurred vision
- Family history of diabetes
- Previous gestational diabetes
- Being overweight before pregnancy
- Previous delivery of a large baby
Even without symptoms, many healthcare providers recommend this screening between 24-28 weeks of pregnancy as a preventive measure.

Early detection of gestational diabetes through our GTT test provides:
- Peace of mind knowing your pregnancy is progressing safely
