What is Elevated Fasting vs Post‐load Glucose Levels and Pregnancy Outcomes in Gestational Diabetes: a Population‐based Study about?

## Aims: To examine the relative association between fasting plasma glucose vs post-load (1-h and 2-h) glucose levels based on the oral glucose tolerance test in pregnancy and large-for-gestational-age and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy outcomes. ## Methods: All live singleton births between october 2008 and december 2014 in alberta, canada were included. gestational diabetes mellitus was diagnosed using diabetes canada criteria. logistic regression models were used to examine the association between fasting plasma glucose vs post-load values and large-for-gestational-age infants and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy after adjusting for maternal characteristics and pharmaceutical intervention in gestational diabetes pregnancies. ## Results: Among 257 547 pregnancies, 208 344 (80.9%) had negative 50-g glucose challenge tests, 36 261 (14.1%) had negative 75-g oral glucose tolerance tests, and 12 942 (5.0%) had gestational diabetes based on either elevated fasting plasma glucose (n=4130, 1.6%) or elevated 1-h and/or 2-h oral glucose tolerance test values (n=8812, 3.4%). large-for-gestational-age and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy rates were 8.1% and 5.1% in negative glucos
