Abstract :

To diagnose gestational diabetes mellitus, various screening tests were proposed. Previously some studies were done to compare 3 hour 100gm & 2 hour 75gm OGTT in diagnosing gestational diabetes mellitus.

We studied OGTT in different way by compå 3 hour 100gm & 3 hour 75gm OGTT .This was a prospective study done with 300 pregnant females in PBM Hospital, Bikaner. Fasting, PP1, PP2 & PP3 hour blood sugar were measured. Test was done at <20 weeks & at >28 weeks of gestation.

GDM was diagnosed in 23 of 254 women (9.05%), 9 out of 116 (7.75%) females were positive with the 75–g load and 14 of 138 (10.14%) with the 100–g load. Mean fasting blood sugar was significantly high in patients with 100gm glucose test (87.38±4.47), as compared to 75 gm glucose test (85.43±5.50) (p<0.01).
