Where I work, the endocrinologist regards anything >7.7 ( at 2hrs) as
Gestational Diabetes and the women are then transferred into a diabetic
antenatal clinic where they regularly see the diabetic educator midwife who
assesses their records of home monitoring of blood glucose levels. A small
number go on to require insulin

Hi Janet,
The 1 hour result is irrelevant. It is the 2 hour that counts as they
aren't able to utilise and excrete the excess sugar.
So, she needs a consult with a GDM midwife or endocrinologist (whatever you
have)if her fasting BSL is >5.5 or her 2 hour is >8. I hope that is clearer.

Need more info. Is that the one hour result or the two hour
result. If it is the two hour result she needs a consultation
with a diabetic nurse or Dr and it is high.
Cheers

Hi all,
can someone clue me in on what's considered a high result to
get from the GTT? I have a woman wanting to swap to hb from a
BC where her GTT result is considered dangerously high and
she's been told she's highrisk. It was 9.8.
Thanks!
