Maternal serum fructosamine and maternofetal glucose and insulin homeostasis in normal pregnancy.
Well-defined normal values are necessary to identify pregnancies complicated by gestational diabetes (GD) and thus further reduce perinatal morbidity and mortality from this condition. The present study defined the range for the oral glucose tolerance test (oGTT) in 2578 pregnancies. After exclusion of abnormal results 822 randomized patients were used to define normal values for fructosamine, HbA1c, insulin, glucose and C-peptide in the maternal serum; insulin, glucose and fructosamine in the amniotic fluid; and insulin, glucose, C-peptide and fructosamine in the cord blood.
