Progression of gestational diabetes mellitus to pregnancy-associated fulminant type 1 diabetes: a case report.

ABSTRACT: Pregnancy-associated fulminant type 1 diabetes (PF) occurs during pregnancy or within 2 weeks of delivery. Although it occurs infrequently, it is associated with high fetal mortality rate. Few studies have examined whether PF is associated with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). A 29-year-old woman diagnosed with GDM at 24 weeks of gestation developed a fever, sore throat, nausea and vomiting at 29 weeks of gestation. Ketoacidosis was considered based on her blood ketone and glucose levels and the results of a blood gas analysis. Since the patient's islet function declined rapidly, fluid replacement, insulin therapy, and other treatments were administered. The patient was ultimately diagnosed with PF, and has required ongoing insulin therapy. She delivered a healthy baby girl by elective cesarean section at 37-week gestation. Her blood glucose has been satisfactorily controlled over the 12 months since her acute presentation. PF is characterized by poor maternal and infant outcomes and a high stillbirth rate. Blood glucose should be regularly monitored in pregnant women with GDM. A sudden increase in blood glucose may indicate the possibility of PF, which needs to be managed in a timely manner to avoid adverse pregnancy outcomes.

Project description:BackgroundLactation improves glucose metabolism, but its role in preventing type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) after gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) remains uncertain.ObjectiveTo evaluate lactation and the 2-year incidence of DM after GDM pregnancy.DesignProspective, observational cohort of women with recent GDM. (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT01967030).SettingIntegrated health care system.Participants1035 women diagnosed with GDM who delivered singletons at 35 weeks' gestation or later and enrolled in the Study of Women, Infant Feeding and Type 2 Diabetes After GDM Pregnancy from 2008 to 2011.MeasurementsThree in-person research examinations from 6 to 9 weeks after delivery (baseline) and annual follow-up for 2 years that included 2-hour, 75-g oral glucose tolerance testing; anthropometry; and interviews. Multivariable Weibull regression models evaluated independent associations of lactation measures with incident DM adjusted for potential confounders.ResultsOf 1010 women without diabetes at baseline, 959 (95%) were evaluated up to 2 years later; 113 (11.8%) developed incident DM. There were graded inverse associations for lactation intensity at baseline with incident DM and adjusted hazard ratios of 0.64, 0.54, and 0.46 for mostly formula or mixed/inconsistent, mostly lactation, and exclusive lactation versus exclusive formula feeding, respectively (P trend = 0.016). Time-dependent lactation duration showed graded inverse associations with incident DM and adjusted hazard ratios of 0.55, 0.50, and 0.43 for greater than 2 to 5 months, greater than 5 to 10 months, and greater than 10 months, respectively, versus 0 to 2 months (P trend = 0.007). Weight change slightly attenuated hazard ratios.LimitationRandomized design is not feasible or desirable for clinical studies of lactation.ConclusionHigher lactation intensity and longer duration were independently associated with lower 2-year incidences of DM after GDM pregnancy. Lactation may prevent DM after GDM delivery.Primary funding sourceNational Institute of Child Health and Human Development.

Project description:Maternal dietary patterns before and during pregnancy play important roles in the development of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). We aimed to identify dietary patterns during pregnancy that are associated with GDM risk in pregnant U.S. women. From a 24 h dietary recall of 253 pregnant women (16-41 years) included in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2003-2012, food items were aggregated into 28 food groups based on Food Patterns Equivalents Database. Three dietary patterns were identified by reduced rank regression with responses including prepregnancy body mass index (BMI), dietary fiber, and ratio of poly- and monounsaturated fatty acids to saturated fatty acid: "high refined grains, fats, oils and fruit juice", "high nuts, seeds, fat and soybean; low milk and cheese", and "high added sugar and organ meats; low fruits, vegetables and seafood". GDM was diagnosed using fasting plasma glucose levels ≥5.1 mmol/L for gestation <24 weeks. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to estimate adjusted odds ratio (AOR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for GDM, after controlling for maternal age, race/ethnicity, education, family poverty income ratio, marital status, prepregnancy BMI, gestational weight gain, energy intake, physical activity, and log-transformed C-reactive protein (CRP). All statistical analyses accounted for the appropriate survey design and sample weights of the NHANES. Of 249 pregnant women, 34 pregnant women (14%) had GDM. Multivariable AOR (95% CIs) of GDM for comparisons between the highest vs. lowest tertiles were 4.9 (1.4-17.0) for "high refined grains, fats, oils and fruit juice" pattern, 7.5 (1.8-32.3) for "high nuts, seeds, fat and soybean; low milk and cheese" pattern, and 22.3 (3.9-127.4) for "high added sugar and organ meats; low fruits, vegetables and seafood" pattern after controlling for maternal sociodemographic variables, prepregnancy BMI, gestational weight gain, energy intake and log-transformed CRP. These findings suggest that dietary patterns during pregnancy are associated with risk of GDM after controlling for potential confounders. The observed connection between a high consumption of refined grains, fat, added sugars and low intake of fruits and vegetables during pregnancy with higher odds for GDM, are consistent with general health benefits of healthy diets, but warrants further research to understand underlying pathophysiology of GDM associated with dietary behaviors during pregnancy.
