Abstract	Background: Gestational diabetes mellitus is a major disease condition affecting pregnancy. Approximately 10% of pregnant women are affected by diabetes. Diabetes during pregnancy accounts for up to 87.5% of all pregnancy related complications which may persist even after pregnancy. Type 1 diabetes contributes to 7.5 percent of pregnancy complications whereas type 2 accounts for only up to 5 percent. It is thought that gestational diabetes is a variant of type 2 diabetes. Objective: To establish the most appropriate dose of oral glucose challenge in determining diabetes among the pregnant women attending Nyahururu County Hospital. Design: Comparative cross-sectional study. Setting: Nyahururu county hospital, Laikipia County, Kenya. Subjects: One hundred and twenty eight (128) pregnant women. Results: The data was subjected to a Pearson correlation test and the obtained rvalues 0.1008, 0.1253, 0.0568, 0.0096, 0.0427 and 0.12275 for the respective time intervals were less that the r-critical value of 0.2461 thus there was no significant variation between the two oral glucose doses at 95% confidence interval. Conclusion: There was no statistically significant quantitative variation in oral glucose challenge doses used in diagnosing gestational diabetes mellitus among pregnant women attending antenatal clinic in Nyahururu County Hospital. Therefore the null hypothesis was
