Doc, I just ate: interpreting random blood glucose values in patients with unknown glycemic status.
This study sought to improve interpretation of RBG values in non-fasting individuals without self-reported dysglycemia and characterize the relationship between RBG and time since last caloric intake. It concluded that, in a nationally representative sample of non-fasting, community-dwelling individuals, those with undiagnosed dysglycemia had significantly higher RBG values than those with normoglycemia within 9 hours of caloric intake.

Gestational diabetes diagnostic methods (GD2M) pilot randomized trial.
The researchers tested the feasibility of conducting a pragmatic randomized controlled trial (RCT) comparing the International Association of Diabetes in Pregnancy Study Groups (IADPSG) versus Carpenter-Coustan diagnostic criteria for gestational diabetes (GDM), and examined patient and provider views on GDM screening. They found that both pregnant women and providers value GDM screening, and pregnant women can be recruited to a blinded, randomized GDM screening trial with minimal attrition and missing data.
