I am not sure why you changed the page on gestational diabetes? Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 21:44, 29 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Medline gives these values here [1]. If you have a better reference yes please do change it. It sounds like the OGTT is on the edge of use. From Uptodate

"The 1997 ADA screening recommendations strongly emphasized the use of fasting blood levels (no caloric intake for at least eight hours) for diagnosing diabetes [4] and recommended against using the OGTT which is more troublesome to perform and less reproducible [7]. The WHO agreed with the new definitions, but suggested continued use of the two-hour value on the OGTT for patients with blood glucose values in the "uncertain range" [6]. The ADA follow-up report in 2003 was not as negative regarding use of the OGTT, noting that both the fasting glucose and 75 g glucose tolerance test were suitable for diagnosing diabetes [2]. In 2009, an International Expert Committee recommended using a hemoglobin A1C (A1C) value of ≥6.5 percent to diagnose diabetes [8], and the ADA affirmed the decision (table 1) [3]. (See 'Hemoglobin A1C' below.)

I have modified the information according to the guidelines from the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, American Diabetes Association and US Public Health Task Force that were mentioned in a lecture as a part of a conference I attended back in May.

I have contacted the doctor who gave the lecture. And since those are the guidelines and protocols used, maybe we can add them as additional information if not as a replacement for the ones that are already on.

Amiodarone

Hey, you added the following statement to Amiodarone; "Not to be given with Lidocaine → increases risk of asystole". I could not find anything in the BNF about this, please can you update the page with a source as detailed here. Many thanks Xarr☎ 21:44, 13 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
