Pregnancy and “sugar test”
About the whole issue of the benefit of a glucose tolerance test in pregnancy, there is much doubt.
I wrote in the past about this.
And if you or your obstetrician already want to perform this, then you may show him the article below

The 2 sources provoke similar serum glucose responses. Patients report fewer side effects after a jelly bean challenge than after a 50-g glucose beverage challenge.
