Threshold Values for Diagnosing Overt Diabetes in Pregnancy
Test* | Threshold Value |
|---|---|
Fasting plasma glucose | 126 mg/dL [7.0 mmol/L] |
HbA1C (glycosylated hemoglobin) | 6.5% |
Random plasma glucose | 200 mg/dL on > 1 occasion |
* Fasting plasma glucose and HbA1C are measured if clinicians suspect diabetes (eg, in patients with risk factors, such as obesity, a strong family history of diabetes, or a history of gestational diabetes in a previous pregnancy). | |
