Abstract Background Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) defined as glucose intolerance with onset or first diagnosis during pregnancy. While GDM usually resolves following delivery, it can have long-lasting health consequences, including increased risk for type 2 (T2DM) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) in the mother, future obesity, CVD, T2DM, and/or child. This contributes to a vicious interge...

Background Maternal dietary patterns play an important role in the progress of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). The aim of the present study was to explore this association. Method A total of 388 pregnant women (122 case and 266 control) were included. Dietary intake were collected using a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ). GDM was diagnosed using a 100-gram, 3-hour oral glucose toleranc...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Diabetes can complicate pregnancy but it is not the major complication of pregnancy. Though prevalence of diabetes is alarmingly high among Indians there have been very few studies assessing the effect of diabetes on pregnancy outcomes, particularly comparing pre-gestational diabetes mellitus [PGDM] and gestational diabetes [GDM] with non-diabetic mothers. METHODS Pre...

BACKGROUND Inconsistent reports are available in the literature regarding the oxidative status and antioxidant capacity during the pathogenesis of gestational diabetes. Present study was aimed to evaluate oxidative stress during the development of gestational diabetes and to evaluate antioxidant capability in non-pregnant (control), pregnant and gestational diabetics. METHODS The study consis...

In the United States, depending on the diagnosis criteria used, 135,000– 200,000 women annually develop gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), adding to the number of pregnant women who already have either type 1 or type 2 diabetes. There has also been a significant increase (~ 33%) in the incidence of type 2 diabetes with its presumed parallel risk for obesity in addition to the development of a...

BACKGROUND Fetal macrosomia, defined as a birth weight ≥ 4,000 g, may affect 12% of newborns of normal women and 15-45% of newborns of women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). The increased risk of macrosomia in GDM is mainly due to the increased insulin resistance of the mother. In GDM, a higher amount of blood glucose passes through the placenta into the fetal circulation. As a result,...

Objective: Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) is an important condition in diabetes categories causing significant complications including pre-eclampsia and eclampsia among pregnant women. The aim of this study was to estimate the trend of annual GDM incidence and its risk factors in Yazd province, Iran, from 2008 to 2013. Materials and Methods: The present study was conducted as a prospectiv...

INTRODUCTION An increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes in women with a history of gestational diabetes mellitus(gestational diabetes mellitus - GDM) may be associated with increased insulin resistance and subclinical inflammation. However, approximately half of women with previous GDM (pGDM) do not develop diabetes. These women were the population of focus in the present study. OBJECTIV...
