Project description:Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), defined as any degree of glucose intolerance with onset or first recognition during pregnancy, is characterized by underlying maternal defects in the β-cell response to insulin during pregnancy. Women with a previous history of GDM have a greater than 7-fold higher risk of developing postpartum diabetes compared with women without GDM. Various risk factors for postpartum diabetes have been identified, including maternal age, glucose levels in pregnancy, family history of diabetes, pre-pregnancy and postpartum body mass index, dietary patterns, physical activity, and breastfeeding. Genetic studies revealed that GDM shares common genetic variants with type 2 diabetes. A number of lifestyle interventional trials that aimed to ameliorate modifiable risk factors, including diet, exercise, and breastfeeding, succeeded in reducing the incidence of postpartum diabetes, weight retention, and other obesity-related morbidities. The present review summarizes the findings of previous studies on the incidence and risk factors of postpartum diabetes and discusses recent lifestyle interventional trials that attempted to prevent postpartum diabetes.

Project description:ObjectivesThis study investigated whether weight was managed appropriately in pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and examined the association between insufficient gestational weight gain (GWG) and adverse pregnancy outcomes.MethodsThe study included 235 pregnant women with GDM from the Korean Pregnancy Outcome Study. GWG from the second to the third trimester (kg/wk) and total GWG (kg) were classified as insufficient, appropriate, or excessive according to the 2009 Institute of Medicine guidelines. Adverse pregnancy outcomes included maternal (hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, preterm birth, cesarean delivery, and delivery complications) and infant (low birth weight, high birth weight, neonatal intensive care unit admission, and congenital anomalies) outcomes.ResultsThe proportion of pregnant women with GDM who had insufficient GWG from the second to the third trimester was 52.3%, and that of participants with total insufficient GWG was 48.1%. There were no significant associations between insufficient GWG from the second to the third trimester and adverse pregnancy outcomes. Participants with total insufficient GWG had a significantly lower risk of preterm birth (odds ratio [OR], 0.17; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.05-0.60) and high birth weight (OR, 0.23; 95% CI, 0.07-0.80).ConclusionOur findings suggest the importance of appropriate weight management and the need for GWG guidelines for pregnant women with GDM.

Project description:ObjectiveTo investigate the risk of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) associated with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) by comparing pregnancies in women with SLE to general population controls.MethodsWe identified singleton pregnancies among women with SLE and general population controls in the Swedish Medical Birth Register (MBR; 2006-2016), sampled from the population-based Swedish Lupus Linkage (SLINK) cohort (1987-2012). SLE was defined by ≥ 2 International Classification of Diseases (ICD)-coded visits in the National Patient Register (NPR) and MBR, with ≥ 1 visit before pregnancy. GDM was defined by ≥ 1 ICD-coded visit in the NPR or MBR. Glucocorticoid (GC) and hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) dispensations within 6 months before and during pregnancy were identified in the Prescribed Drug Register. Risk ratios (RRs) and 95% CIs of GDM associated with SLE were estimated using modified Poisson regression models, stratified by parity and adjusted for maternal age at delivery, year of birth, and obesity.ResultsWe identified 695 SLE pregnancies including 18 (2.6%) with GDM and 4644 non-SLE pregnancies including 65 (1.4%) with GDM. Adjusted RRs of GDM associated with SLE were 1.11 (95% CI 0.38-3.27) for first deliveries and 2.03 (95% CI 1.21-3.40) for all deliveries. Among SLE pregnancies, GDM occurred in 7/306 (2.3%) with ≥ 1 GC before and/or during pregnancy, 11/389 (2.8%) without GC, 7/287 (2.4%) with ≥ 1 HCQ before and/or during pregnancy, and in 11/408 (2.7%) without HCQ.ConclusionWhen looking at all deliveries, SLE was associated with a 2-fold higher risk of GDM. GDM occurrence did not differ by GC or HCQ.

Project description:ObjectiveThis study aimed to examine possible genetic effects of some retinol binding protein-4 (RBP4) single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on the risk of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). In addition, the SNPs were examined for their possible association with insulin resistance at 6 weeks after delivery.MethodsThis was a prospective study of 100 women with GDM and 100 participants with normal gestation who were evaluated at gestational week 30 and 6 weeks postpartum. Three SNPs of RBP4 (rs3758539, rs116736522, and rs34571439) were genotyped using TaqMan assay. The genotype distributions between GDM patients and normal controls were analyzed using logistic regression models. In addition, differences in clinical characteristics among subjects grouped by genotype were assessed using the analysis of covariance test.ResultsThe frequencies of the rare alleles were not significantly different between GDM patients and controls. However, we identified two variants rs3758539 and rs34571439 associated with insulin levels and insulin resistance in women with previous GDM.ConclusionNoncoding SNPs of the RBP4 gene are not associated with GDM, but two SNPs showed associations with insulin resistance and insulin levels in women with prior GDM. Additional studies with increased sample size will be necessary in other GDM cohorts.

Project description:BackgroundIodine supplementation is indicated by the French National Authority for Health (HAS) and the World Health Organization (WHO) during pregnancy. This study investigates whether this supplementation is consistently prescribed in line with WHO recommendations in pregnant women diagnosed with gestational diabetes mellitus.MethodA total of 99 women with a diagnosis of gestational diabetes were included in the study and were all closely monitored.ResultsOnly 17 (17.2%) patients received the recommended iodine supplementation. The follow-up, whether conducted by a gynecologist or midwife, did not influence the prescription of iodine supplements. By contrast, 72 (72.7%) of patients received folic acid supplementation.ConclusionsThe prescription of iodine supplementation for the pregnant women included in our study is insufficient. Few practitioners seem aware of the recommendations, even when the pregnancy is complicated by gestational diabetes.

Project description:Gestational diabetes mellitus is a condition similar to type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in that patients are unable to compensate for the degree of insulin resistance, and both conditions are often treated with metformin. The comparative pharmacodynamic response to metformin in these 2 populations has not been studied. This study characterized insulin sensitivity, β-cell responsivity, and disposition index following a mixed-meal tolerance test utilizing a minimal model of glucose, insulin, and C-peptide kinetics before and during treatment with metformin. The study included women with gestational diabetes mellitus (n = 34), T2DM (n = 14), and healthy pregnant women (n = 30). Before treatment, the gestational diabetes mellitus group had significantly higher baseline (45%), dynamic (68%), static (71%), and total β-cell responsivity (71%) than the T2DM group. Metformin significantly increased insulin sensitivity (51%) as well as disposition index (97%) and decreased mixed-meal tolerance test peak glucose concentrations (8%) in women with gestational diabetes mellitus after adjustment for gestational age-dependent effects; however, in women with T2DM metformin only significantly affected peak glucose concentrations (22%) and had no significant effect on any other parameters. Metformin had a greater effect on the change in disposition index (Δ disposition index) in women with gestational diabetes mellitus than in those with T2DM (P = .01). In conclusion, response to metformin in women with gestational diabetes mellitus is significantly different from that in women with T2DM, which is likely related to the differences in disease severity.

Project description:BackgroundPsychiatric interventions may be required during pregnancy. In the aspect of the management of psychiatric symptoms and the consideration of the need for pharmacotherapy, possibly to manage the effects on the fetus, pregnant women with mental disorders are considered high risk as other physical illnesses.ObjectiveWe investigated the characteristics of pregnant women with psychiatric disorders compared with high-risk pregnant women with physical illnesses at our university hospital and the effects of psychotropic drug use on pregnant women with mental disorders and their children.Materials and methodsIn a multivariate analysis of 1282 pregnant women, excluding those with multiple pregnancies who gave birth at our hospital between January 2017 and the end of December 2019, we evaluated the effects of mental disorders and the use of psychotropic drugs throughout at least the third trimester up to the day of delivery on obstetric complications and infants. All data were collected retrospectively.ResultsNinety-nine pregnant women had mental disorders and 62 took psychotropic drugs. Among multiple factors, pregnant women with mental disorders were associated with significantly higher rates of smoking and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and significantly lower child abnormalities. The cause or effect was difficult to determine; however, the use of antipsychotics or antidepressants was also significantly associated with GDM, while psychotropic use was not related to any of the other factors investigated in this study.ConclusionsAttention to GDM might be important in the management of pregnant women with mental disorders.

Project description:Recent evidence has shown that gut microbiota dysbiosis is associated with development of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). However, the gut microbiota composition of non-obese women with GDM, which accounts for a relatively large percentage of Asian GDM, is unknown. We investigated the characteristics of gut microbiota of Japanese pregnant women with GDM. Fecal samples from Japanese pregnant women with GDM (n=20) and normal glucose tolerance (NGT, n=16) were collected at the time of GDM diagnosis (T1), at 35-37 weeks of gestation (T2), and at 4 weeks postpartum (T3). Gut microbiota composition was characterized from fecal DNA by sequencing of 16S rRNA genes. Serum samples were collected late in the third trimester, and the circulating levels of adiponectin and IL-6 were measured by ELISA. At the genus level, Peptostreptococcaceae Romboutsia was enriched in GDM women at T1 (p=0.008) and T2 (p=0.047). The women with lower serum adiponectin tended to have more Romboutsia. The Shannon index was significantly lower in the GDM women at T3 than in the NGT women (p=0.008), and that of the GDM women decreased significantly from T2 to T3 (p=0.02). No significant difference in bacterial community structure was found in a beta diversity analysis. The non-obese GDM women (body mass index <25.0 kg/m2) showed a lower abundance of Coriobacteriaceae Collinsella at T1 (p=0.03) and higher abundance of Akkermansia at T2 (p=0.04) than the normal control. The non-obese GDM women had the distinctive gut microbiota profiles. Analysis of gut microbiota is potentially useful for risk assessment of GDM in non-obese pregnant women.
