OGTT = 75 g oral glucose tolerance test; FC Mix = fluoride-oxalate-EDTA; ORCHID = Optimisation of Rural Clinical and Haematological Indicators for Diabetes in pregnancy study; MMM = Modified Monash Model. Data are median (interquartile range) in hours for delay to analysis or mean ± SD for plasma glucose or difference in plasma glucose for ORCHID study participants who attended clinics within MMM remoteness classification categories 2 or 3 and completed OGTT (n = 368). These clinics were selected due to similarities with the region serviced by Ballarat Health Services (MMM category 2–5). The ORCHID study did not have sites within MMM 4 or 5 remoteness classification categories.
