The American Diabetes Association, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists and the National Diabetes Education Program recommend testing within 4 — 12 weeks postpartum with a 2 hour 75
g oral glucose tolerance test (oGTT).2 75 76
We examined 60 healthy nondiabetic subjects (normal 75 -
g oral glucose tolerance test, aged 23 to 83, 15 men and 45 women).
Glucose tolerance was measured by a 75 -
g oral glucose tolerance test.

Three studies diagnosed diabetes from a 75 -
g oral -
glucose - tolerance test (6, 21, 23), 3 from fasting plasma
glucose concentrations (11, 22, 24), and one study used postload or fasting
glucose concentrations (10).
A total of 13 healthy pregnant women underwent an
oral glucose tolerance test (75
g of
glucose delivered orally, a standard method for determining insulin sensitivity).
The general signs of insulin resistance may make it difficult to pinpoint but it can be diagnosed clinically by taking a fasting insulin level (over 25 ml / U / L) or blood insulin and
glucose levels obtained during 120 min of a standard (75 g glucose) Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT), see normal values

When Sprague - Dawley rats were fed a diet including 148 mg green tea catechins / d for 12 d, fasting plasma
glucose and insulin concentrations and the insulin response to an
oral glucose load (2
g glucose / kg body wt) were significantly reduced (9).
However, in this analysis, diagnosis of gestational diabetes mellitus was based on results with highly abnormal serum
glucose concentrations of 10.3 mmol / L or more on the 1 - hour 50 -
g glucose challenge test — the threshold at which women do not require further confirmatory testing with an
oral glucose tolerance test.34
