Protect Your Pregnancy with Early Gestational Diabetes Screening
As an expectant mother in South Africa, you want the very best for your growing baby. The Glucose Challenge Test (GCT) gives you peace of mind by screening for gestational diabetes – a condition that can affect any pregnancy. For just ZAR 50, this simple test could be the key to ensuring a healthier pregnancy journey for both you and your baby.
Understanding Your Glucose Challenge Test
The GCT is a straightforward screening test designed specifically for pregnant women. You’ll drink a glucose solution containing 75g of glucose, and we’ll draw a blood sample exactly 2 hours later. The best part? No overnight fasting is required, making it convenient for busy expectant mothers across Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, and Pretoria.
Our laboratory uses the advanced Hexokinase method, ensuring the highest accuracy and reliability in your results. This isn’t just a test – it’s your first line of defense in protecting your pregnancy health.
Who Should Take This Pregnancy Screening?
This test is recommended for all pregnant women between 24-28 weeks, but you might need earlier screening if you experience:
- Excessive thirst or frequent urination
- Unusual fatigue beyond normal pregnancy tiredness
- Family history of diabetes
- Previous gestational diabetes in earlier pregnancies
- Being overweight before pregnancy
- Previous delivery of a large baby (over 4kg)
Many South African women are at risk without even knowing it. Early detection through our ZAR 50 screening can make all the difference.
Why This Test Matters for Your Pregnancy Health
Gestational diabetes, when undetected, can lead to serious complications including pre-eclampsia, premature birth, and delivery difficulties. By identifying this condition early, you can:
- Reduce risks of pregnancy complications
- Prevent excessive baby growth and birth difficulties
- Lower chances of your baby developing blood sugar problems after birth
- Decrease your own risk of developing type 2 diabetes later in life
- Enjoy peace of mind knowing you’re taking proactive steps for your baby’s health
For just ZAR 50, this screening offers invaluable protection for your most precious journey.
