The women thereby served as their own control. Inhibin, total oestradiol and progesterone were measured by radioimmunoassay.

No difference was detected in C-reactive protein levels (fasting and non fasting) (P=0.33, 0.349), fasting insulin (P=0.082), fasting glucose levels (P=0.119), between the study group who subsequently developed GDM and the control group.Conclusion: SHBG can be used as an early marker to ...
