This HbA1c indicates that her blood sugars for the past 3 months. So FBS combined with HbA1c will screen her for overt diabetes , that is if the diabetes was present in her before even she fell pregnant. Any fasting blood sugar below 90 and HbA1c below 6 indicates she was not diabetic before she fell pregnant. When we come to oral glucose challenge test that is done between 6th and the 7 th month that is about 24 to 26 weeks, the upper limit for the cut off is about 140 mg per decilitre. So any level above 140 mg per decilitre, indicates that she is having gestational diabetes.
