Prospective evaluation of glycated albumin reveals high diagnostic accuracy for gestational diabetes, suggesting a viable alternative to OGTT.

Glycated albumin showed 85.7% sensitivity and 84.6% specificity in diagnosing gestational diabetes mellitus.
Participants in the GDM group had significantly higher levels of glycated albumin, 15.3% compared to 12.1%, with p < 0.001.
Standard glucose tolerance tests were employed alongside simultaneous glycated albumin testing in 81 pregnant women from 20 to 28 weeks of gestation.
Results support the use of glycated albumin as a practical diagnostic marker where OGTT may present challenges.

Saleem et al. (2025) studied this question.
