Introduction: In the Czech Republic, screening of glucose tolerance disorders is performed
in all pregnant women in two stages: measuring glycaemia in a fasting patient
within 14 weeks of pregnancy, and between the 24th and 28th weeks by performing an oral
glucose tolerance test (oGTT). Goal: To determine how the oGTT is performed from the
point of view of pregnant women.
Materials and Methods: A total of 134 women in their 35th–44th week of pregnancy completed
a non-standardized questionnaire. The research was carried out at workplaces in
Zlín.
Results: Only three respondents knew how many grams of glucose are drunk for an oGTT
and one stated that it is necessary to fast for 8 hours before an oGTT. Capillary blood was
taken in 22 cases, which is unacceptable in relation to recommendations.
Conclusions: Inadequate knowledge concerning the preparation and performance of the
oGTT may lead to distorted laboratory results.
