Abstract

•After exclusion of pre-gestational diabetes, Asian Indian pregnant women have bimodal distribution of plasma glucose.•Bimodality is observed for fasting, 1 and 2 h post glucose load plasma glucose distribution.•Cut off values for gestational diabetes diagnosis could not identified for any glucose parameter.•In women with high gestational diabetes risk factors, the bimodality is evident before 24 weeks of gestation.•By third trimester, the bimodality is significant for all glucose parameters.

Keywords: Asian Indian women; Bimodality; Gestational diabetes mellitus; Glycated haemoglobin; Pregnancy.
