Diagnosis of Gestational Diabetes [PDF]

Scandinavian Journal of Clinical and Laboratory Investigation, 2014
Abstract Previous approaches to diagnosing gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) have included 50 g, 75 g and 100 g glucose challenges, lasting 1-3 hours, with 1 or 2 elevations required. Thresholds were validated by their predictive value for subsequent diabetes, or were the same thresholds used in non-pregnant individuals.
