Early Pregnancy Glycemic Levels in Non-Diabetic Women and Pregnancy Outcome: A Retrospective Cross-Sectional Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Maternal fasting blood sugar (FBS) variations within normal range and lower than that in diabetes mellitus (DM) may be associated with adverse feto-maternal outcomes.

Objective

To find out if a rise of maternal FBS level above 80 but still below 120 mg/dL (group 2) has an influence on feto-maternal outcomes compared with a maternal FBS below 80 mg/dL (group 1).

Methods

Retrospective cross-sectional study. FBS was measured at the booking visit. Subjects whose FBS was measured before 20 weeks were categorized according to their FBS (>80 mg/dL or ≤80 mg/dL) and correlation between FBS levels in the two groups with several parameters were tested.

Results

Group 1 (130 healthy pregnant women) and group 2 (88 healthy pregnant women) did not show a statistic
