With the increasing prevalence of diabetes in pregnancy it is necessary to design a simple, sensitive, cost effective method for screening of hyperglycaemia in pregnancy specially in resource constrained settings. There is no universally agreed screening and diagnostic criteria to detect hyperglycemia in pregnancy. In present study, DIPSI (non-fasting OGTT) is compared with fasting oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) to evaluate sensitivity and specificity of both methods in our population.
