100 g for pregnant women whose blood sugar is detected at or above 140 mg/dL. OGTT (Oral glucose tolerance test) is performed. With 100 g of glucose for three hours, the test needs to be redone. after 3 hours of loading, it is determined definitively whether the expectant mother has gestational sugar or not.
