Figures

Figure 1
Figure 1
A: Patterns of glycemia in normal pregnancy (gestational week 33.8 ± 2.3) across 11 studies published between 1975 and 2008. One study provided useful information but required exclusion from the figure because data could not be regraphed. Methodologies used diurnal pattern characterization during inpatient admission (five studies), SMBG via reflectance photometry (one study), and CGMS (six studies) (n = 168–255; BMI range 22–28 at time of study). B: Mean pattern of glycemia across 12 studies (n = 168–255) during 33.8 ± 2.3 weeks’ gestation (weighted average ± SD, values rounded to whole numbers for clinical use). Suggested 1- and 2-h PP targets are <122 and <110 mg/dL, respectively.
