Correlation Between the First Trimester Two-Hour Postprandial Blood Glucose Greater Than 110 mg/dL for the Prediction of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus
PPBS > 110 mg/dL at two hours exhibits high levels of diagnostic accuracy for the prediction of GDM and is associated with adverse fetomaternal outcomes. PPBG is a superior, physiologic, and low-cost option compared to HbA1c for early prediction of GDM and can also be performed as a simple point-of-care test with a glucometer at home or in the periphery by healthcare workers (HCW) and in wellness centers.
