*

P<.05 significant; variables included in models: fasting, 1, 2, and 3 hour results of 100 g 3-hour oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), parity, gestational age at enrollment, body mass index at enrollment, maternal age at enrollment, tobacco use in current pregnancy.

Primary composite outcome: stillbirth, neonatal death, hypoglycemia, hyperbilirubinemia, neonatal elevated cord C-peptide, birth trauma; individual components analyzed and shown below composite except for stillbirth, neonatal death, birth trauma not analyzed due to small numbers.
