Abstract
An oral glucose tolerance test was performed in 93 women with unexplained infertility (sterility or repeated abortions). An abnormal carbohydrate metabolism was found in 1/3 of the cases (32 patients). Advice on diet control, provided to all of these patients, was followed only by 13.9 of these, who conceived less than 6 months after initiation of the low carbohydrate diet, achieved full-term pregnancy. These results suggest a relationship between infertility and glucose intolerance. A glucose tolerance test should be performed in all women presenting unexplained infertility.
