When should gestational diabetes be screened for?
24-28 weeks
Screening test for gestational diabeetus
1 hr 50 gram glucola test
> 135-140 perform 3 hr glucose tolerance test with 100g loading dose
F-95, 1hr-180, 2hr-155, 3hr-140
Dx of gestational diabetes

White classification
A1 - abnormal GTT, normal values, tx with diet and exercise and NO INSULIN
A2 - abnormal GTT, abnormal values, tx with diet, exercise, AND INSULIN
Serial tests for fetal well being
Non-stress test
Contraction stress test
Biophysical profile
Cord doppler studies
Post partum management of gestational diabetes
Test w/75g GTT at 6-8 weeks
