0.5–1.5 multiples the mean (MoM) defines normal glucose tolerance pregnancy ranges of insulin resistance (IR) and beta cell function. <0.5 MoM insulin resistance indicates a low IR, while IR >1.5 MoM indicates a high IR. Beta cell function <0.5 defines low beta cell function, while >1.5 MoM defines high beta cell function. Data are presented as numbers (%). * (p < 0.001).
