Ethnic Differences in Characteristics of Women Diagnosed With Early Gestational Diabetes: Findings From the TOBOGM Study
Authors' conclusion
In women with risk factors, eGDM was most prevalent in SA and ESEA women, particularly identified by the post-glucose load samples. These findings suggest an early oral glucose tolerance test should particularly be performed in women from these ethnic groups.
Study context
- Population
- Pregnant women with GDM risk factors enrolled at <20 weeks' gestation; GDM by WHO-2013 criteria; ethnicity by self-identification
- Participants
- 1,567 / 971 / 498 / 242 / 174
- Comparison
- Ethnic groups: Europid vs South Asian, East and South-East Asian, Middle Eastern, Māori and Pasifika
- Europidn = 1,567reference
- SAn = 971
- ESEAn = 498
- MEn = 242
- MPn = 174

Glucose pattern at eGDM diagnosis
- ESEA mainly diagnosed through post-glucose load values; all other groups mainly on fasting glucose

- No differences between ethnic groups
