GPT's summary
This study evaluated the use of fasting plasma glucose (FPG) during the first prenatal visit to diagnose gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). It found that higher FPG levels at the first visit were strongly correlated with GDM diagnosis later in pregnancy. Women with FPG between 6.10 and 6.99 mmol/L should be treated as GDM, while those with FPG between 5.10 and 6.09 mmol/L should receive nutrition and exercise advice, with a glucose tolerance test (OGTT) performed later to confirm GDM. The study suggests that an FPG value ≥5.10 mmol/L should not be used as the sole criterion for diagnosing GDM.
