The test to detect diabetes in pregnancy moves to Meixoeiro

11% of pregnant women develop diabetes during pregnancy, which increases the risk of complications.Therefore, a fundamental routine test is the so -called "glucose curve".Until now, it was held at the Coia Specialties Center, which will close its doors in September, within the reorganization of hospital care that is causing the opening of the new hospital.As of Monday, this test will be transferred to its definitive destination, the old memodialysis unit of the Meixoeir.

The glucose tolerance test is done to all pregnant women in the second trimester of pregnancy.They must ingest 50 grams of concentrated glucose for an hour to compare the results of the analyzes performed before and after.If the levels are high, they must perform a second test, already diagnostic of diabetes, in which they will have to ingest 100 grams for three hours and perform four extractions.They are long and uncomfortable evidence, for which they will now have 26 positions in the former Meixoeiro Hemodialysis Unit, amended 5 years ago.

It has been chosen to locate it in the Meixoeiro to be in the same building of the future central laboratory, which analyzes these samples, and because those responsible for this diagnosis are the endrocrinos, what a service will also be fully located in this hospital.
