Abstract
The use of glycosylated Hb (glyco Hb) levels was studied to identify the pregnant woman with abnormal glucose tolerance and as an adjunct in the control of the diabetic pregnant patient. There was no difference in glyco Hb levels in pregnant women with normal or abnormal glucose tolerance. Mean glyco Hb levels increased with pregnancy progress. Serial estimations of glyco Hb level in diabetic pregnant women reflected the degree of overall control, but were inadequate, when compared with serial glucose estimations, to assess the often rapidly changing pregnancy requirements.
