The answer is the fourth one: oral glucose tolerance test.

Explanation for each option:

  1. Thyroid replacement therapy: This is a treatment for hypothyroidism, where patients take synthetic thyroid hormones to replace deficient thyroid hormones. It is not a diagnostic test for diabetes.

  2. Hemoglobin A1c testing: This test measures the average blood glucose levels over the past 2-3 months and is commonly used to diagnose and monitor diabetes, including type 2 diabetes. However, it is not the most commonly performed test for diagnosing gestational diabetes.

  3. Radioactive iodine treatment: This is a treatment for hyperthyroidism or thyroid cancer, where radioactive iodine is used to destroy overactive thyroid cells. It is not related to diabetes diagnosis.

  4. Oral glucose tolerance test: This test measures the body's ability to use glucose and is commonly used to diagnose type 2 diabetes and gestational diabetes. It involves fasting overnight, drinking a glucose solution, and then measuring blood glucose levels at intervals.

Summary: The oral glucose tolerance test is the most commonly performed test to diagnose type 2 or gestational diabetes.
