title: Studies on carbohydrate metabolism in physiological pregnancy.
abstract: Tests were performed on fasting (N = 780), postprandial (N = 890), and glucose loaded (50 and 75 g glucose given orally) blood samples in the period from 10 to 40 weeks of gestation. The highest physiological value of glucose was given as x + 2SD. Fasting blood glucose was found to be stable during pregnancy with the highest value of 5.65 mmol/l. Postprandial blood glucose concentrations showed a significant rise (p < 0.01), and the x + 2SD value remained below 7.5 mmol/l. The highest levels of blood glucose concentrations after 50 g one, two, and three hours following glucose loading were 8.43. 7.69 and 5.7 mmol/l, and after 75 g glucose loading: 9.73, 7.56 and 5.79 mmol/l respectively.
