Abnormal glucose tolerance and the 50-gram glucose challenge test in Cystic fibrosis. [PDF]
Diabetes has emerged as a major co-morbidity in cystic fibrosis (CF). The 75 g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) is used to screen for CF-related diabetes (CFRD) but is inconvenient, and adherence to screening is poor. The 50 g glucose challenge test (GCT) is shorter, performed non-fasting, and may serve to pre-screen the subset of individuals ...

Usefulness of Glucose Monitoring in Neonates of Mothers With an Elevated Glucose Challenge Test and a Normal Oral Glucose Tolerance Test. [PDF]
Background Neonatal hypoglycemia is a common metabolic disturbance in neonates. Glucose monitoring is recommended for certain groups of neonates, including those whose mothers have pre-gestational or gestational diabetes. Little is known about the relevance of glucose monitoring in neonates whose mothers have an elevated screening glucose challenge ...

Diagnostic ability of elevated 1-h glucose challenge test. [PDF]
To determine whether a threshold of a 1-h glucose challenge test (GCT) eliminates the need for a 3-h glucose tolerance test (GTT).A retrospective cohort of patients undergoing GTT after GCT was ⩾140 mg dl(-1). Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) was diagnosed using National Diabetes Data Group (NDDG) and Carpenter-Coustan (CC) criteria.
