Glucose tablets are good to keep on hand when you are on the go because they have a long shelf life -- about three years -- but always check the expiration date on the package. You can keep them in your bag or somewhere with you since hypoglycemia can happen unexpectedly, especially if you are busy.
The oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was the gold standard for making the diagnosis of type 2 diabetes. It is still commonly used during pregnancy for diagnosing gestational diabetes. With an oral glucose tolerance test, the person fasts overnight (at least 8 hours, but not more than 16 hours). The next morning, the fasting plasma glucose is tested. After this test, the person receives a dose of oral glucose (the dose depends upon the length of the test). There are several methods employed by obstetricians to do this test, but the one described here is standard. Usually, the glucose is in a sweet-tasting liquid that the person drinks.
