[Screening for gestational diabetes with capillary blood glucose]. 1995

Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Beijing.

Two hundred and twenty 3rd trimester pregnant women were randomly selected to perform 50 g oral glucose tolerance screening test. Simultaneously, both capillary and venous blood samples were obtained one hour after the glucose load. A high correlation between capillary and venous glucose levels was found (r = 0.87, P < 0.01). From the receiver operator characteristic curve, it was found that the capillary glucose value of 9.1 mmol/L might be defined as abnormal threshold value for 100g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). The consistent rate between capillary and venous glucose test was 91.8%. In 100g OGTT, of 43 cases whose venous glucose were > or = 7.8 mmol/L, 11 were diagnosed as gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). All of these 11 patients had capillary glucose > or = 9.1 mmol/L. This results suggest that the capillary blood glucose test may be feasible for screening of gestational diabetes.

D016640	Diabetes, Gestational	Diabetes mellitus induced by PREGNANCY but resolved at the end of pregnancy. It does not include previously diagnosed diabetics who become pregnant (PREGNANCY IN DIABETICS). Gestational diabetes usually develops in late pregnancy when insulin antagonistic hormones peaks leading to INSULIN RESISTANCE; GLUCOSE INTOLERANCE; and HYPERGLYCEMIA.
