People with a concussion need to be seen by a doctor. Most people with concussions are treated in an emergency department or a doctorâs office. Some people must stay in the hospital overnight for further treatment. Sometimes the doctors may do a CT scan of the brain or do other tests to help diagnose your injuries. Even if the brain injury doesnât show up on these tests, you may still have a concussion. Your doctor will send you home with important instructions to follow.
If the result is abnormal, it is typically followed up with a fasting blood glucose test or a GTT. Glucose blood tests are also used to screen pregnant women for gestational diabetes between their 24th and 28th week of pregnancy.
If you had gestational diabetes during your pregnancy, you will need to have a follow-up test of your glucose level between 6 weeks and 12 weeks after you give birth. If your test result is normal, you should be retested for diabetes every 3 years.ecause overweight and obese women have a higher risk of this complication than women who are a normal weight, your health care provider may test you for gestational diabetes during the first 3 months of your pregnancy. You also may be given the test again in the later months of your pregnancy.
