| Core Tip |
HbA1c is unreliable for diagnosing GDM because pregnancy alters red cell turnover and induces hematologic variability, yet rising evidence suggests it may still offer prognostic value. Early-pregnancy HbA1c above 5.9% predicts later GDM, while mid- and late-pregnancy values above 5.7–5.9 percent correlate with fetal overgrowth, hypertensive disorders, cesarean delivery, and postpartum dysglycemia. Although not a replacement for the OGTT, HbA1c may help identify women at heightened metabolic risk. More studies are needed before HbA1c can be integrated into risk-stratification algorithms for GDM care. |
