Glucose Tolerance in Gestational Diabetic Women during and after Treatment with a Combination-Type Oral Contraceptive

Abstract
Oral glucose tolerance tests (GTT) were performed periodically in 15 women who had shown abnormal tolerance to glucose in the third trimester, but who had normal tolerance after delivery. Five received a combination of norethindrone, 1 mg, and mestranol, 0.05 mg, as an oral contraceptive cyclically; 10 who practiced other methods of contraception served as controls.
