Comparing Glucose Challenge Test Screening Thresholds in Obese and Overweight Gravidas

American Journal of Perinatology, 2019
Abstract Objective Given the paucity of contemporary data examining glucose challenge test (GCT), thresholds for gestational diabetes (GDM) screening in obese and overweight women, we sought to compare the sensitivity and testing characteristics of different screen positive GCT cut-offs in women with a prepregnancy body mass index (BMI) ≥ 25 ...

The association between glucose challenge test level and fetal nutritional status

The Journal of Maternal-Fetal & Neonatal Medicine, 2013
To examine the relationship between maternal glucose challenge test (GCT) levels and fetal nutritional status index (FNSI: a ratio of child's birth weight (kg) over squared maternal height (m(2)).A total of 2193 women from the Beichen district, Tianjin, China, who had 50 g GCT at gestational age 24-28 weeks, gave a full-term singleton birth between ...

Comparison of point-of-care-testing glucose meters with standard laboratory measurement of the 50g-glucose-challenge test (GCT) during pregnancy

Clinical Biochemistry, 2003
Although glucose meters are well-established instruments for self-monitoring blood glucose levels, diagnostic and screening procedures should be performed using standard laboratory methods. In addition to standard laboratory methods, HemoCue is authorized for screening and diagnostic purposes in Germany.

Risk factors for fetal macrosomia: the importance of a positive oral glucose challenge test

European Journal of Endocrinology, 1997
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate whether minor abnormalities of glucose metabolism without gestational diabetes are a risk factor for fetal overgrowth. DESIGN: A sample of 1883 unselected white mother-infant pairs were screened for gestational diabetes using a 50 g 1-h oral glucose challenge test (GCT) in two periods of pregnancy ...

Diabetes screening in dialysis populations with a glucose challenge test and continuous glucose monitoring: DIGEST study

Endocrine Abstracts
Abstract Background People on dialysis are at a higher risk of diabetes mellitus. The oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) is the gold standard for detecting dysglycaemia, but is cumbersome. This study investigates the OGTT in comparison to the glucose challenge test (GCT) and continuous glucose ...

Glucose Challenge Test as a Predictor of Type 2 Diabetes

2016
Background: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that 30 million Americans are living with diabetes and by 2050, 1 out of 3 U.S. adults could develop diabetes. Current screening and diagnostic methods for diabetes mellitus include the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), and fasting plasma glucose (FPG) levels,

[Glucose tolerance tests with oral glucose challenges of 50 and 100 grams (author's transl)].

Revista brasileira de pesquisas medicas e biologicas, 1976
Seventy six subjects (63 females and 13 males) with an average age of 50.5 years, all of them with familial and/or obstetric history for diabetes mellitus, were submitted to glucose tolerance tests with oral glucose challenges of 50 and 100 g. The tests were all analysed by different criteria of current usage in medical literature (Wilkerson, Fajans ...
