title: Insulin response to an intravenous glucose load in potentially diabetic pregnant women.
abstract: The insulinmic response to an i.v. glucose load was determined in 129 pregnant women, early in the third trimester of pregnancy, with normal I K but with familiar diabetes and in 12 controls, with normal I K and without familiar diabetes. Results show that there is not a significative difference between the groups. In both groups, 30% of patients show a greater insulin release, likely expression of a functional pancreatic overload.
