  1. aPriscilla White’s prognostic classes [20] for diabetes in pregnancy: GDM (gestational diabetes) and DM2 (type 2 diabetes)
  2. bRudge’s diagnostic criteria for hyperglycemia in pregnancy [18] with the association glucose tolerance test (GTT) + glucose profile (GP)
  3. IIA: GDM, with abnormal gestational GTT and normal gestational GP
  4. IIB: GDM, with abnormal gestational TTG and GP; or DM2, with abnormal pre-pregnancy GTT
  5. IB: mild gestational hyperglycemia (MGH), with normal gestational GTT and abnormal gestational GP
