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.
Then, youâll drink 75 g of a very sugary mixture. Every hour for the next 2 hours, your blood glucose level will be measured. If your blood glucose level is elevated (above normal) one or more times during the test, you have gestational diabetes.bout six weeks after delivery, your doctor will check your blood glucose level to see if itâs in the normal range again. However, because you had gestational diabetes, youâre at a higher risk (a 33-50% increased risk) for having it again in another pregnancy.
