OBJECTIVE To examine the effect of regular moderate-intensity exercise (three training sessions/week) on the incidence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM, primary outcome). We also examined if the exercise intervention modifies the association between GDM and birth weight and risk of macrosomia, gestational age, risk of caesarean delivery and maternal weight gain (secondary outcomes). METH...

BACKGROUND A 50-g oral glucose challenge test (OGCT) is a widely accepted screening method for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), but other options are being considered. PURPOSE To systematically review the test characteristics of various screening methods for GDM across a range of recommended diagnostic glucose thresholds. DATA SOURCES 15 electronic databases from 1995 to May 2012, refer...

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is associated with a high risk of immediate and late adverse outcomes for mothers and their offspring (1–4). This risk correlates with the level ofmaternal hyperglycemia (5), and glucose-lowering interventions were reported to decrease the risk of some of these adverse outcomes (6). In many countries, including Israel, a two-step approach for GDM screening is...

M aturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) encompasses a collection of distinct forms of diabetes, which are inherited in an autosomaldominant mode from the maternal or paternal side of the family or occasionally occur as a de novo mutation. All the genes involved affect either b-cell sensing or insulin secretion (1). The clinical presentations of MODY are heterogeneous, reflecting the differ...

Preconception obesity is a strong predictor of glucose intolerance during pregnancy that has the potential to lead to adverse maternal and offspring effects. An increased prevalence of overweight offspring of obese mothers has been reported, despite normal values in an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) during pregnancy (1 ). Such findings might reflect effects of the intrauterine milieu, genet...

For at least a generation there has been a divergence of opinions about gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). On one hand were those who, on the basis of largely observational studies in humans and extrapolation of animal data, felt that women should be tested for GDM and have their diagnosed GDM treated. On the other hand, there were the “obskeptics” who felt that no significant action should b...
