Real-world data confirm the HAPO study findings at lower levels of maternal glycaemia. At higher levels, GDM diagnosis and treatment appear to be effective in reducing rates of LGA in pregnancies with post-load glucose elevations, but not elevated FPG. Elevated FPG is a stronger predictor of LGA than post-load glucose elevations.
