Gestational Diabetes Diagnostic Methods

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Gestational Diabetes

In brief

This is a pilot feasibility study of 40 pregnant women to test the investigators' recruitment, enrollment and randomization procedures in preparation to conduct a larger randomized control trial to compare diagnostic methods for gestational diabetes. The two methods that are being compared are the 2 hour 75 gram OGGT (2011 ADA guidelines) versus a 1 hour 50 gram GCT + 3 hour 100 gram OGTT if the 1 hour result is abnormal (Carpenter and Coustan criteria).
