Summary:The usefulness of concentrations of glycosylated serum protein and glycosylated hemoglobin in monitoring glycemic control during pregnancy complicated by diabetes was evaluated by correlation of these parameters with fasting and 2-hour postprandial glucose concentrations of the previous 7 days. Glycosylated serum protein correlated with both fasting (r = 0.798, p less than 0.01, n = 71) and postprandial (r = 0.846, p less than 0.01, n = 69) blood glucose concentrations. Glycosylated hemoglobin also correlated with fasting (r = 0.571, p less than 0.01, n = 71) and postprandial (r = 0.510, p less than 0.01, n = 74) blood glucose concentrations. Monitoring glycosylated serum protein during pregnancy complicated by diabetes is clinically feasible and allows frequent reappraisal of diabetic control.
