    Abstract:
    Oral glucose tolerance testing was performed according to WHO criteria among pregnant women with historical risk factors for gestational diabetes (a previous baby weighing 4000 g or more, a previous unexplained intrauterine death) in Baranya county. Oral glucose tolerance test was carried out for the first time between gestational ages of 16-20 weeks, and it was repeated monthly in cases of normal curve. Patients with impaired glucose tolerance or diabetes were cared, dietary of prophylactic insulin treatment was introduced. 152 patients were involved in the screening program. 26 patients had gestational diabetes or impaired glucose tolerance. The glucose tolerance test curve was "stretched" in 81 patients. Early screening and management of pregnant women with maternal historical risk factors is emphasised from the view of diminishing complications, especially the frequency of macrosomia.
