Diabetes is a disease that affects how your body turns food into energy. There are three main types of diabetes: type 1, 2, and gestational diabetes. With 1 diabetes, the doesn’t produce insulin. Insulin hormone helps blood sugar get cells to be used for 2 produces insulin, but does not use it well.Gestational diabetes develops during pregnancy. In United States, about 1% 2% pregnant women have...

background: some patients with gdm (gestational diabetes mellitus) still experience impaired glucose tolerance after childbirth and will be affected by diabetes mellitus type 2. objectives: the aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between hs-crp serum levels with insulin resistance six weeks after childbirth in patients with gestational diabetes mellitus type 2. methods: in this...

Aim. The aim of this study is to investigate whether amniotic fluid leptin and insulin levels can be used for prediction of for prediction of gestational diabetes mellitus or not. Methods. The levels of leptin and insulin were measured in the samples of amniotic fluid which were obtained at 16-20 weeks of pregnancy during genetic amniocentesis. We recorded the patients who developed gestational...

Women with gestational diabetes are at increased risk of non-insulin dependent diabetes and their babies are at increased risk of adverse perinatal outcomes. These risks can be reduced by better detection and control of diabetes. Identifying risk factors for gestational diabetes may improve screening programmes. As low birth weight has been related to non-insulin dependent diabetes in elderly p...

BACKGROUND N-terminal-pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) is elevated in gestational hypertension and preeclampsia. This trial aimed to generate data for gestational diabetes mellitus patients, who are at risk to develop these complications. METHODS We have measured NT-proBNP in 223 otherwise healthy women between gestational week 24 and 32 referred to the outpatient diabetes unit in a ...

Gestational diabetes and obesity are the common metabolic abnormalities occurring during pregnancy. Decreased maternal pregravid insulin sensitivity (insulin resistance) coupled with an inadequate insulin response are the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying the development of gestational diabetes. Insulin-regulated carbohydrate, lipid and protein metabolism are all affected to a variable d...

BACKGROUND Gestational diabetes is a risk factor for perinatal complications; include shoulder dystocia, birth injuries such as bone fractures and nerve palsies. It is associated with later development of type 2 diabetes, the risk of macrosomia and other long-term health effects of infants born to diabetic mothers. The study assesses placental peptides and maternal factors as potential predicto...

Diabetes is a chronic (long-lasting) health condition that affects how your body turns food into energy. Your breaks down most of the you eat sugar (glucose) and releases it bloodstream. When blood goes up, signals pancreas to release insulin. Insulin acts like key let body’s cells for use as With diabetes, doesn’t make enough insulin or can’t well should. there isn’t stop responding insulin, t...

background hypovitaminosis d has been associated with the development of gestational diabetes mellitus (gdm) in many observational studies. objectives we report the first study of the impact of prenatal vitamin d supplementation on postpartum dysglycemia in gdm patients in a randomized clinical trial. patients and methods women with gdm at 12 - 32 weeks of gestation were assigned randomly to ei...
