Question

Overt gestational diabetes is defined as blood glucose more than_?

• A. 200 mg/dl
• B. 126 mg/dl
• C. 100 mg/dl
• D. 180 mg/dl

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Overt gestational diabetes is a condition where pregnant women develop high blood sugar levels. For diagnosis, the fasting blood glucose level is used as a key indicator. In this context, the threshold for defining overt gestational diabetes is a fasting blood glucose level greater than 126 mg/dl. This value aligns with current medical standards for diagnosing diabetes, as this level indicates that glucose regulation is impaired significantly enough to require medical attention.

Blood Glucose Level (mg/dl)	Diagnosis
>126	Overt Gestational Diabetes
>100 and ≤126	Possible Glucose Intolerance
≤100	Normal
