Evaluation of plasma glucose control in pregnancy complicated by chemical diabetes. 1980

J Rizvi, and M D Gillmer, and N W Oakley, and R W Beard

Two-hourly plasma glucose measurements were made over a 24-hour period in 24 pregnant women with chemical diabetes treated by dietary carbohydrate restriction alone. The values obtained between midnight and 0600 hours displayed the best correlation with the mean of the diurnal values, the strongest individual correlation being at 0200 hours. During the daytime, the mean of the plasma glucose values before breakfast (0600 hours) and lunch (1200 hours) and two hours after supper (2000 hours) provided the strongest correlation with the mean diurnal value and these are recommended as the routine sampling times for assessment of diabetic control in pregnant women with dietary treatment for chemical diabetes.
