“…A previous report from this Unit (McDonald-Gibson et al, 1975) showed that the levels of non-esterfied fatty acids and glycerol fell abruptly during the first week post partum and it therefore seems unlikely that the present findings can be explained on the basis of fatty acids acting as an alternative energy substrate, but again this may be an over-simplified way of regarding the various metabolic relations. Lund and Weese (1953) reported that in four patients with an 'abnormal' GTT during pregnancy three had 'normal' tolerance within three days of delivery. They went on to say 'we have no way of knowing how many abnormal curves we missed by waiting 48 hours after delivery before testing glucose tolerance .…”

Oral glucose tolerance tests were performed during late pregnancy, on the second and fifth days of the puerperium and finally six weeks after delivery in a group of 12 healthy women. The glucose response showed no significant change from the pregnancy values on the second and fifth days of the puerperium but each woman had returned to 'normal' by the sixth week post partum. In contrast, the insulin response had returned to the non-pregnant value by the second day of the puerperium.
