Abstract

Objective. The status of carbohydrate metabolism of pregnant women with positive glucose challenge test (GCT), but normal oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and their neonates are not defined clearly. Study Design. Pregnant women with normal GCT (n: 120), with abnormal glucose challenge test (AGCT) but normal OGTT (n: 67) and with gestational diabetes (GDM, n: 67) were included into the study. Insulin sensitivity was evaluated by fasting insulin level, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR); quantitative insulin check index (QUICKI) and ISOGTT. Serum insulin and glucose values during OGTT were documented. Perinatal outcome and delivery modalities were compared. Results. Both GDM (31.6±5.9 yrs) and AGCT groups (29.0±4.0 yrs) were older than controls (28.1±4.9 yrs). Body mass index (BMI) was the predominant factor affecting both AGCT and GDM groups (OR: 3.78 and 5.97 respectively). Despite there was no significance between insulin indices; serum glucose and insulin values were similarly different; macrosomic infant and caesarean section rates were higher than controls in both GDM and AGCT groups in favor of gestational diabetics (6.6% vs. 18.9%; p=0.0001 and 20% vs. 27.7% p=0.0001 respectively). Conclusion. Pregnant woman with abnormal glucose challenge test have impaired carbohydrate metabolism as in gestational diabetics with a lesser severe degree.
