About this trial

This study aims to screen women who have a negative Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) result in routine screening tests or who have never had it with the Fasting Blood Glucose Test (FBG) at 32-34 weeks of gestation to diagnose late-onset GDM with routine FBG ≥5.1 mmol/L (92mg/dl) in fasting blood, and to investigate its connection with perinatal and maternal outcomes, hoping to inform about late-stage GDM.
