WHO criteria require > 140 mg/dl glycemia at 2 hours post-test, 75 g oral glucose being necessary for diagnosing gestational diabetes. Diagnosis can also be made from two glycemia readings of > 105 mg/dl on an empty stomach or one > 126 mg/dl glycemia reading on an empty stomach or a > 200 mg/dl glycemia reading regardless of the time of day and time of the last meal.
