Aim: Is to find the mean and two standard deviation of the serum blood sugar among pregnant women while running the modified oral glucose tolerance test (MOGTT) as screening for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) & to compare the readings with other protocols adopted in diagnosing GDM. Method: A cross sectional study among pregnant women running routine MOGTT at 24-28 weeks’ gestation. A total of 149 women participated in 4 months period. The test included 5 ml of venous blood sample taken after fasting for 8 hours and a second blood sample 2 hours after having 200 ml of 75 g glucose solution within 10 minutes. Results: The mean for the fasting blood sugar is 4.32 mmol/L±0.52 making value of 2SD of 5.36 mmol/l. The mean of the 2 hours glucose level was 6.11mmol/l±1.38 making the 2SD value of 8.87 mmol/l. Conclusion: Our results for the 1st reading in MOGTT is near to the value of the local protocol in diagnosing GDM. The 2 hours postprandial reading in the local protocol is fairly low when compared with our findings & with guidelines of nearby communities.

Measurements of the daily fluctuations in the sugar blood levels, fasting test, the double glucose tolerance test, and measurements of the blood insulin and C peptide levels were carried out in 13 patients with organic hyperinsulinism prior to insulinoma removal and in the immediate and late periods after it. The double glucose tolerance test was for the first time used to study carbohydrate metabolism in patients with organic hyperinsulinism. The curve of this test in insulinoma patients was found to resemble that in health, though with lower levels and a more abrupt lowering of its end section. This feature may be used to define the origin of hyper insulinism. No correlation between the blood glucose, insulin, and C peptide levels was detectable before surgery in this patient population. After surgery the imbalance in these three parameters relationships is eliminated. Carbohydrate metabolism parameters normalized after the operation; the lowest blood sugar level was increased twofold in the fasting test. Transitory hyperglycemia persisted for two weeks after elimination of hyperinsulinism. Daily fluctuations in the blood sugar levels normalize during the third week after surgery.

Mild Hyperglycemia

Background: Glucose tolerance in pregnancy is fundamentally linked to fetal growth. The relationship between maternal glycemia and adverse outcomes is a continuous process, with no distinct cut off point for increased risk. The objective of the study is to find out whether mild hyperglycemia in 2 hour 75 gm Glucose Tolerance Test (GTT) affects maternal and perinatal outcome in pregnant women.Methods: This case control study was conducted in SRM Medical College during a 10-month period. Mild hyperglycemia was diagnosed when the - 2hour non- fasting 75gm GTT was between 120-139 mg/dl and Controls were women with 2hour nonfasting 75gm GTT <120mg/dl. Maternal and neonatal parameters were noted and the results were compared.Results: During the study period 142 delivered women had mild hyperglycemia, of which 10 patients on subsequent blood sugar monitoring required insulin for blood sugar control. There was significant family history of diabetes in women with mild hyperglycemia when compared to controls. There was no significant difference in incidence of hypertension, hypothyroidism, preterm delivery and caesarean section between the two groups. LGA (Large for gestational age babies) (p=0.001) and serum triglyceride levels (p=0.04) were significantly more in women with mild hyperglycemia when compared to controls.Conclusions: Mild hyperglycemia during pregnancy should not be ignored and periodic blood sugar monitoring should be done to improve maternal and fetal outcome.
