This test is recommended to diagnose Gestational Diabetes in pregnant women who screen positive with 50 gm Glucose challenge test. At least two values must meet or exceed the stated reference value for a diagnosis of Gestational Diabetes mellitus (Fasting >95 mg/dL; 1 hour >180 mg/dL; 2 hours > 155 mg/dL; 3 hours>140 mg/dL). If results are normal in clinically suspected cases, test must be repeated in the third trimester.

Homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) is a test that measures insulin resistance. It’s used in clinical practice and epidemiological studies to help identify people who may have type 2 diabetes.
How it’s calculated
HOMA-IR is calculated using fasting blood sugar and insulin levels
The formula is: Fasting serum insulin (μU/ml) × fasting plasma glucose (mmol l)/22.5
The threshold HOMA-IR level that indicates insulin resistance varies by study
What it’s used for
HOMA-IR is used to estimate insulin resistance, which is a risk factor for type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease
It’s also used to predict the risk of metabolic syndrome and inflammatory disease
Who it’s used for
HOMA-IR has been used in clinical and epidemiological studies of adults
It’s also been used in studies of adolescents
Other considerations
HOMA-IR is a biomarker for type 2 diabetes
The role of HOMA-IR in non-diabetics is less clear
HOMA-IR levels can vary depending on age, gender, and other factors

Blood tests for hypertension measure levels of potassium, sodium, cholesterol, and glucose in your blood. They may also include a urinalysis and other tests.
Blood tests
Complete blood count: Checks your blood cell count
Blood chemistry: Measures levels of potassium, sodium, creatinine, and total cholesterol
Cholesterol test: Also known as a lipid profile, this test measures levels of HDL and non-HDL cholesterol
Blood sugar (glucose) test: Determines if you have diabetes
Aldosterone test: Measures the amount of aldosterone in your blood or urine
Urine tests
Urinalysis: Can reveal kidney or liver problems
Other tests
Kidney function tests: Check for kidney damage
Thyroid function tests: Check for thyroid issues
ECG (electrocardiogram): Checks your heart’s electrical activity
Blood pressure
Blood pressure is measured in millimeters of mercury (mm Hg). A reading of 130/80 mm Hg or higher is considered high blood pressure.
Preparation
Before a blood pressure test, you should avoid exercising, drinking coffee, or smoking cigarettes. You should also sit in a chair and relax for at least five minutes.
