title: [Glucose overload test. Screening of gestational diabetes in population of pregnant women with risk factors for diabetes. Clinical experience].
abstract: Clinical utility of the Overload Test with 50 g. of Oral Glucose (PSG) is evaluated, in 513 pregnancies with risk factors for diabetes. Of the 933 PSG which were made, 13.7% were positive (limit value: plasma glucose of much less than 150 mg/dl at 1 hour); the test were made after 20 weeks of gestation in 82.8% of the cases. Of the 128 positive PSG, 73 positive Oral Glucose Tolerance Test were obtained (O'Sullivan criteria). The prevalence of gestational diabetes found in this group was 15.2%. There was no difference on the most frequent risk factors (family history, obesity and macrosomia) between the general population in the study and the group of Gestational diabetes.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  PSG, because of its easy application, low cost and excellent tolerance is a test which should be included among the prenatal routine test as screening for gestational diabetes in our media.
