An oral glucose tolerance test (GTT) was performed in 1,055 healthy Israeli women at various stages of pregnancy. The whole venous blood glucose levels were higher in Israeli pregnant women than in American pregnant women. By adding 2 SD to the mean values, the upper limits of the oral GTT in the Israeli pregnant women were higher than the corresponding limits in American pregnant women. According to our results, 2.7% of Israeli pregnant women have gestational diabetes. However, if American standards are used, then 3.7% of our population would be considered to have gestational diabetes. Each population should be evaluated, therefore, according to its specific standards. The mean +/- 2 SD glucose levels of the GTT in pregnant women at age greater than or equal to 30 years were higher than those of the entire population of pregnant women. It is suggested, therefore, that the GTT of each pregnant woman should be considered according to her age-group.
对1055名处于不同孕期阶段的以色列健康孕妇进行了口服葡萄糖耐量试验（GTT）。以色列孕妇的全静脉血糖水平高于美国孕妇。通过将平均值加上2个标准差，以色列孕妇口服GTT的上限高于美国孕妇的相应上限。根据我们的结果，2.7%的以色列孕妇患有妊娠期糖尿病。然而，如果采用美国的标准，那么我们人群中有3.7%会被认为患有妊娠期糖尿病。因此，每个群体都应根据其特定标准进行评估。年龄大于或等于30岁的孕妇GTT的平均±2个标准差血糖水平高于全体孕妇人群。因此，建议应根据每位孕妇的年龄组来考虑其GTT情况。
