Early Screen and Treatment for Gestational Diabetes
Gestational Diabetes
About this trial
This is an interventional other trial for Gestational Diabetes focused on measuring early glucose screen, perinatal outcome
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
Pregnant subjects 18-45 y/o and Any of the following:
Obesity defined as having a BMI>30 kg/m2 History of pregnancy complicated with GDM History of pregnancy complicated with macrosomia First degree relative with diabetes Multiple gestation
Exclusion Criteria:
- Incomplete Data: if any data is missing (i.e Delivery data) , analysis cannot be completed.
Pregnancy complicated with fetal malformations or aneuploidy: It affects prenatal care, mode of delivery as well as perinatal outcome.
Pregestational or Overt Diabetes: Patients with Diabetes cannot be diagnosed with GDM.
Chronic medical conditions such as hypertension, renal disease, autoimmune conditions: Those conditions may affect prenatal care, perinatal morbidity.
Early diabetes screen performed prior to enrollment in study: Participant cannot be randomized, and probably have been treated.
Medical contraindication to glucose tolerance test (bariatric surgery): patients with h/o gastric bypass frequently cannot tolerate oral glucose load, therefore cannot be screened for GDM in the traditional way.

Early glucose screen group
Standard glucose screen group
Participants with high risk factors for gestational diabetes, will be randomly assigned to an early glucose screen group: it consists of an oral load of 50 grams of glucose followed by a measurement of serum glucose 1 hour later, and if abnormal (higher than 130mg/dl), will undergo a 100 gram oral load of glucose followed by serum glucose levels drawn 1,2 and 3 hours after the load. If abnormal according to Carpenter-Cousant criteria, the participant will undergo standard of care for Gestational Diabetes.
The participants in this group will be randomized to undergo the testing process previously described at 24 to 28 weeks.
