Abstract:
Objective To analyze the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) curve characteristics in Chinese women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) or gestational impaired glucose test (GIGT) and to evaluate whether omission of the third-hour plasma glucose measurement of the OGTT could alter the sensitivity of the diagnosis on GDM,and whether there is a close relationship between plasma glucose values of 50 g glucose challenge test (50 g GCT) or OGTT and insulin therapy. Methods A retrospective analysis on medical records of 647 cases with GDM from January 1,1989 to December 31,2002 and 233 cases with GIGT were performed. Among 647 cases of GDM,535 were diagnosed by 75g OGTT. All OGTT (535 with GDM and 233 with GIGT) results were evaluated. Results There were 112 cases of GDM diagnosed by elevated fasting plasma glucose without OGTT performed. Of 535 cases of GDM diagnosed by OGTT,49.2% (263/535) women were with fasting plasma glucose value ≥5.8 mmol/L;90.1% (482/535) women with 1hr plasma glucose values ≥ 10. 6 mmol/L;64.7% (359/535) were with 2 hr plasma glucose levels ≥9.2 mmol/L. There were only 114 cases (21.3%) with abnormal 3 hr plasma glucose levels among 535 women with OGTT,and when 3 hr plasma glucose reached cutoff value,49.1% the other three values of OGTT were abnormal and 34.2% with the other two values of OGTT. Among 233 women with GIGT,only 4 cases with the abnormal 3 hr plasma glucose. We also investigate use of the glucose values for the first 2 hours of OGTT only missed 19 cases of GDM,still discriminated 516 cases. Omission of the third -hour glucose tolerance test value only resulted in failure to diagnose 2.9%(19/647) of GDM cases and 1.72%(4/233) of GIGT cases in Chinese women. Plasma glucose levels ≥11.2 mmol/L following 50 GCT were highly associated with GDM necessitating insulin therapy (75.4%). An elevated fasting plasma glucose level was also associated with insulin therapy (59.7%).Conclusion Omission of the third -hour glucose tolerance test value still yielded a higher sensitivity of 97.1%(628/647) of GDM cases and 98.2%(229/233) of GIGT cases in Chinese women. It is practicable to omit 3-hour post -glucose ingestion value of the OGTT in Chinese women. Plasma glucose levels ≥11.2mmol/L following 50g GCT indicated 75.4% cases of GDM necessitating insulin therapy.
