To investigate whether different degrees of maternal glucose intolerance are associated with the risk spontaneous preterm birth. We performed a cohort study 46,230 pregnancies screened by 50-g, 1-hour oral tolerance test between 24 and 28 gestation weeks at Northern California Kaiser Permanente Medical Care Program. Spontaneous birth was defined as an infant born less than 37 least one following: labor, premature rupture membranes, or incompetent cervix. Glucose status categorized normal...
To pilot, among women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), the feasibility of a prenatal/postpartum intervention to modify diet and physical activity similar Diabetes Prevention Program.

OBJECTIVE—In 2000, the American Diabetes Association proposed adoption of Carpenter and Coustan criteria for diagnosis gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). The cutoffs are lower than previously recommended National Data Group (NDDG) values would result in higher prevalence GDM. Our aim is to estimate magnitude change GDM using thresholds as compared with NDDG by age ethnicity.
