A study examined the relation of complications of pregnancy and pregnancy outcome to glucose tolerance during the third trimester among 249 non-diabetic women with normal oral glucose tolerance test results. Women having the highest 2-hour plasma glucose levels were found to have a greater incidence of macrosomia, congenital abnormalities, toxemia, and cesarean section. These levels also were associated with infant birth weight. The results indicate that women having limited hyperglycemia in the upper level of the normal range may have higher risk for fetal and maternal complications.(wz)
