The frequency of hyperglycemia among pregnant women attending ante-natal clinic was examined along with age and parity to assess the incidence of gestational diabetes mellitus. Random blood glucose levels in first, second and third trimesters of pregnant women was evaluated by the glucose-oxidase principle using the Easy Touch ® G blood glucose monitoring system. A survey method was adopted for the study while purposive sampling technique was employed to generate data using questionnaire. The random blood glucose levels for first trimester (86.3±12 mg/dL), second trimester (93.±12 mg/dL) and third trimester (108±18 mg/dL). The random blood glucose level based on age range 18-22 (92±19mg/dL), 23-27 (94±18mg/dL), 28-32 (99±16mg/dL), 33-37 (97±17mg/dL) and 38-42 (94±15mg/dL). The random blood glucose level based on parity P0 (88.4±16mg/dL), P1 (100±20mg/dL), P2 (99±19mg/dL), P3 (99±13mg/dL) and P4 (96±13mg/dL). The random blood glucose levels increased significantly in third trimester and the value is low among nulliparous women. The increasing frequency of blood glucose level in third trimester may predispose the women to hyperglycemia or gestational diabetes. Random blood glucose level tends to increase during parity and at advanced reproductive age.
