Glucose Challenge Test (GCT)
An excellent screening test is to obtain plasma glucose level one
hour after a 50 g glucose load administered at any time of the day
without regard to the time since the last meal. It is a well validated
and widely applied screening procedure for women between 24 -28
weeks of gestation.
Cut-off value > 140 mg/dl identifies 80% women with GDM
Cut-off value > 130 mg/dl identifies 90% women with GDM
GCT is elevated, do a diagnostic oral glucose tolerance test

patient should have an unrestricted diet and unlimited physical activity. The
patient should fast for 8 hours before the test. The CC criteria detects 54%
more women with GDM than NDDG criteria

Tight glycemic control can reduce fetal risk. But, stringent
glycemic control puts the mother at increased risk of
hypoglycemic events and the fetus at risk of being smallfor-gestational age.
American Diabetes Association (ADA) Recommendations:
Fasting whole blood glucose
<95 mg/dl
1 hr postprandial blood glucose <140 mg/dl
2 hr postprandial blood glucose <120 mg/dl
Hb A1C (for GDM)
< 6.0 %

• New generation of oral hypoglycemic agents
glyburide does not cross the placenta and may
be used to replace insulin between 11-33 wks.
• Metformin can be used in P.C.O. patients during
the whole pregnancy. It showed that it reduces
miscarriages and the incidence of GDM
• TZDs not studied in pregnancy – not a choice
• AGIs – weak drugs – GI side effects -local action
• GLP-1 and DPP IV Inhibitors not studied yet

Abstract
Diabetes in pregnancy is associated with risks to the woman and to the developing
fetus. Miscarriage, pre-eclampsia, preterm labour and congenital malformations in
fetus are more common in women with pre-existing diabetes. Insulin requirement
increases with each trimester of pregnancy in diabetic females. Treatment of
gestational diabetes consists of medical nutrition therapy but insulin treatment forms
the mainstay of the therapy. Monitoring glycemic control is essential in treatment of
gestational diabetes. HbA1c level is helpful to differentiate between a pre-GDM and
GDM. Majority of pregnant women with diabetes fail to achieve optimum glycemic
control, mostly the postprandial plasma glucose with conventional insulin. In them, the
best option is to administer ultra-short-acting analogs, insulin Lispro or insulin Aspart.
These analogs improve the postprandial glucose control during pregnancy in both type
1 and type 2 diabetes and are considered safe and effective.

• Blood glucose levels monitored continuously
• Pre specified insulin dose is s/c delivered by pump
• This minimized timing and dosing errors.
•
•
•
•
Blood glucose is assessed periodically
Insulin dose is calculated
CGMS is integrated with a delivery device – blue tooth
Hence round the clock blood glucose is controlled.
