In GCT we give extra dose of sugars to see sugar levels, in case it is de ranged we do a fasting and pp-2. If it's normal, we dont start treatment for diabetes. But there is chance of development of gestational diabetes further in pregnancy.

Your glucose challenge test report is incomplete. There are several values at several time frames. Besides are you on insulin because I see you have labeled yourself at gestational diabetes.

I would be able to guide you regarding the same on a consultation.
