OGTT

A screening test for diabetes mellitus (DM), in which plasma glucose levels are measured after the patient consumes an oral glucose load. In screening patients for type 2 DM, measuring fasting plasma glucose levels or checking a hemoglobin A1c level is generally preferable to an OGTT because the former tests are simpler, cheaper, and better tolerated by patients. An OGTT reveals type 2 DM when plasma glucose levels exceed 200 mg/dl 2 hr after drinking a 75-g glucose load. Plasma glucose levels between 140 mg/dl and 199 mg/dl suggest impaired glucose tolerance.

Gestational Diabetes Mellitus

In pregnancy, a modified OGTT is used to screen women with risk factors for gestational diabetes (GDM), including obesity, family history of type 2 DM, age greater than 25 years, and a history of unexplained stillbirths. At 24 to 28 weeks' gestation, a 50-g glucose load is given; 1-hr plasma glucose levels greater than 140 mg/dl constitute a positive screening result. Any patient having a positive test result should then undergo a 2-hr, 100-g OGTT to determine whether GDM is present. See: table

Gestational Diabetes Mellitus: Why the Controversy?
Since the new strategy using 75 g OGTT as one-step screening is still controversial, and the prevalence of GDM varies among different racial groups, together with that it has never been tested in our obstetric population or those in most developing countries, where the people are biophysically different, we conducted this study to evaluate its effectiveness in our population.
