===Gestational diabetes===
There are 2 strategies to confirm the GDM diagnosis.
*'''One-step''' 75-g Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT)
::::::'''OR'''
*'''Two-step''' approach with a 50-g (nonfasting) ''screen'' followed by a 100-g OGTT for those who screen positive.<ref name="pmid26807004">{{cite journal |vauthors= |title=Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes-2016 Abridged for Primary Care Providers |journal=Clin Diabetes |volume=34 |issue=1 |pages=3–21 |year=2016 |pmid=26807004 |doi=10.2337/diaclin.34.1.3 |url=}}</ref>
===One Step Strategy====
Perform a 75 g glucose tolerance test in 24-28 weeks of pregnancy and read the measures 1 h and 2 h after glucose ingestion as well as fasting glucose.<ref name="pmid26807004">{{cite journal |vauthors= |title=Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes-2016 Abridged for Primary Care Providers |journal=Clin Diabetes |volume=34 |issue=1 |pages=3–21 |year=2016 |pmid=26807004 |doi=10.2337/diaclin.34.1.3 |url=}}</ref>
The OGTT should be performed in the morning after an overnight fast of at least 8 h.
The diagnosis of GDM is made when any of the following plasma glucose values are met or exceeded:
* Fasting: 92 mg/dL (5.1 mmol/L)
* 1 h: 180 mg/dL (10.0 mmol/L)
* 2 h: 153 mg/dL (8.5 mmol/L)
====Two Step Strategy====
In this approach, screening with a 1 h 50-g glucose load test (GLT) followed by a 3 h 100-g OGTT for those who screen positive.<ref name="pmid26696673">{{cite journal |vauthors= |title=Professional Practice Committee for the Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes-2016 |journal=Diabetes Care |volume=39 Suppl 1 |issue= |pages=S107–8 |year=2016 |pmid=26696673 |doi=10.2337/dc16-S018 |url=}}</ref>
The diagnosis of GDM is made when at least 2 out of 4 measures of 3 h 100-g OGTT became abnormal.

==Prevention==
Life style modification is the mainstay of prevention of diabetes mellitus. It includes, changes in diet, weight reduction and exercise. The strongest evidence for diabetes prevention comes from the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP). The DPP demonstrated that an intensive lifestyle intervention could reduce the incidence of type 2 diabetes by 58% over 3 years.<ref name="pmid17098085">{{cite journal |vauthors=Lindström J, Ilanne-Parikka P, Peltonen M, Aunola S, Eriksson JG, Hemiö K, Hämäläinen H, Härkönen P, Keinänen-Kiukaanniemi S, Laakso M, Louheranta A, Mannelin M, Paturi M, Sundvall J, Valle TT, Uusitupa M, Tuomilehto J |title=Sustained reduction in the incidence of type 2 diabetes by lifestyle intervention: follow-up of the Finnish Diabetes Prevention Study |journal=Lancet |volume=368 |issue=9548 |pages=1673–9 |year=2006 |pmid=17098085 |doi=10.1016/S0140-6736(06)69701-8 |url=}}</ref>

Overview

Classification

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia is classified into seven types based on the genetic causes that lead to hyperplasia and hormonal imbalance.

Disease History and symptoms Laboratory findings Additional findings
Blood pressure Genitalia
21-hydroxylase deficiency Classic type
  • Low in salt-wasting
  • Normal in non-salt-wasting
  • Female: ambiguous
  • Male: normal or scrotal pigmentation and large phallus
Non-classic type
  • Normal
  • Female: virilization after puberty
  • Male: normal appearance
