Longitudinal changes in glucose metabolism in women with gestational diabetes, from late pregnancy to the postpartum period.

ABSTRACT: AIMS/HYPOTHESIS:This study aimed to determine, in women with gestational diabetes (GDM), the changes in insulin sensitivity (Matsuda Insulin Sensitivity Index; ISOGTT), insulin response and disposition index (DI) from late pregnancy (34-37 weeks gestation, T1), to early postpartum (1-5 days, T2) and late postpartum (6-12 weeks, T3). A secondary aim was to correlate the longitudinal changes in maternal lipids, adipokines, cytokines and weight in relation to the changes in ISOGTT, insulin response and DI. METHODS:ISOGTT, insulin response and DI were calculated at the three time points (T1, T2 and T3) using the results of a 75 g OGTT. Adipokines, cytokines and lipids were measured prior to each OGTT. Linear mixed-effects models were used to compare changes across each time point. Changes in ISOGTT, insulin response and DI were correlated with changes in maternal adipokines, cytokines and lipids at each time point. RESULTS:A total of 27 women completed all assessments. Compared with T1, ISOGTT was 11.20 (95% CI 8.09, 14.31) units higher at 1-5 days postpartum (p?

Project description:Aims/hypothesisDespite recommendations to screen women with diabetes risk factors for hyperglycaemia in the first trimester, criteria for normal glucose values in early pregnancy have not been firmly established. We aimed to compare glucose levels in early pregnancy with those later in gestation and outside of pregnancy in women with diabetes risk factors.MethodsIn pregnant women (N = 123) followed longitudinally through the postpartum period, and a separate cohort of non-pregnant women (N = 65), we performed 75 g oral glucose tolerance tests. All participants had one or more risk factors for diabetes. Using linear regression, we tested for differences in glucose levels between non-pregnant and pregnant women at early (7-15 weeks) and mid-late (24-32 weeks) gestation as well as postpartum, with adjustment for maternal age, parity, marital status and BMI. In a longitudinal analysis using mixed-effects models, we tested for differences in glucose levels across early and mid-late pregnancy compared with postpartum. Differences are expressed as β (95% CI).ResultsFasting glucose was lower in pregnant compared with non-pregnant women by 0.34 (0.18, 0.51) mmol/l (p < 0.0001) in early pregnancy and by 0.45 (0.29, 0.61) mmol/l (p < 0.0001) in mid-late pregnancy. In longitudinal models, fasting glucose was lower by 0.13 (0.04, 0.21) mmol/l (p = 0.003) in early pregnancy and by 0.16 (0.08, 0.25) mmol/l (p = 0.0003) in mid-late pregnancy compared with the same women postpartum. Early pregnancy post-load glucose levels did not differ from those in non-pregnant women or the same women postpartum. In mid-late pregnancy, compared with non-pregnant women, elevations in 1 h post-load glucose level (0.60 [-0.12, 1.33] mmol/l, p = 0.10) and 2 h post-load glucose (0.49 [-0.21, 1.19] mmol/l, p = 0.17) were not statistically significant. However, in longitudinal analyses, 1 h and 2 h post-load glucose levels were higher in mid-late pregnancy (by 0.78 [0.35, 1.21] mmol/l, p = 0.0004, and 0.67 [0.30, 1.04] mmol/l, p = 0.0005, respectively) when compared with postpartum.Conclusions/interpretationIn women with diabetes risk factors, fasting glucose declines in the first trimester. Post-load glucose increases later in pregnancy. These findings may inform criteria for diagnosing hyperglycaemia early in pregnancy.

Project description:BackgroundDue to diverging international recommendations, the unclear role of HbA1c and the lack of longitudinal data, we investigated the accuracy of diagnostic tests in the early and late postpartum in women with gestational diabetes (GDM) especially to predict future glucose-intolerance.MethodsThis longitudinal cohort included 967 women with GDM from 2011 to 2020. A 75-g oGTT and HbA1c were performed at 4-12 weeks (early) postpartum. FPG and HbA1c were measured at 1 and 3-year (late) postpartum. ADA criteria were used as gold standards. At all time-points (4-12 weeks, 1-year and 3-year postpartum) women with diabetes and prediabetes were grouped together and referred to as glucose-intolerant, because at most 3% of the entire cohort population had diabetes at any time-point.ResultsThe prevalence of glucose-intolerance in the early postpartum was higher using FPG and HbA1c (27.5%) than oGTT criteria (18.2%). Only 48-80% of women diagnosed with glucose-intolerance in the early postpartum actually remained intolerant. This was especially low when FPG or oGTT were combined with HbA1c (1-year: ≤ 62% and 3-years: ≤ 50%). Regardless of the test used, 1/3 of women with initially normal glucose-tolerance became glucose-intolerant in the late postpartum. HbA1c was unrelated to iron status/intake, remained stable throughout, but poorly predicted future glucose-intolerance. In the longitudinal analyses, all diagnostic tests in the early postpartum showed acceptable specificities (74-96%) but poor sensitivities (all < 38%) to predict glucose-intolerance after only 10-months. At 1-year postpartum however, the combination of FPG and HbA1c could best predict glucose-intolerance 2-years later.ConclusionsCombining FPG with HbA1c at 1-year postpartum represents a reliable choice to predict future glucose-intolerance. Given the poor prediction of tests including oGTT in the early postpartum, focus should rather be on continuous long-term screening.

Project description:BackgroundLittle is known regarding the association between mental health distress during pregnancy and postpartum maternal serum biomarkers of vitamin B-12 status and milk B-12 concentration.ObjectiveTo evaluate the association between depressive and anxiety symptoms in the third trimester of pregnancy and changes in postpartum serum B-12, homocysteine, and B-12 milk concentration.MethodsA total of 101 women (18-40 years) were studied in a prospective cohort with data at the third trimester of pregnancy (baseline) and three postpartum time-points (TPs): 2-8 days (TP1), 28-50 days (TP2), and 88-119 days (TP3) postpartum. B-12 concentrations in milk were measured by competitive chemiluminescent enzyme immunoassay at TP1, TP2, and TP3. Serum B-12 and homocysteine concentrations were evaluated at baseline, TP1, TP2, and TP3 by chemiluminescent immunoassays. Depressive and anxiety symptoms were measured with the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory at baseline. Spearman's correlation test and multiple linear mixed-effect models were performed.ResultsThe prevalence of depressive and anxiety state symptoms was 35.6 and 39.6% at baseline. High prevalence of low milk B-12 concentration (<310 pmol/L) were observed at TP1 (53.2%), TP2 (71.4%), and TP3 (71.1%). Women with anxiety symptoms at baseline presented higher median concentrations of serum homocysteine at TP1 and lower concentrations of serum and milk B-12 at TP2 compared with women without anxiety symptoms [8 (7; 9) vs. 6 (5; 8) and 266 (188; 369) vs. 332 (272; 413)]. Milk B-12 concentrations were positively and significantly correlated with maternal serum B-12 concentrations at different TP. Women with anxiety symptoms at baseline exhibited a decrease in daily postpartum homocysteine concentrations compared to women without anxiety symptoms (β = -0.002, SE = 0.001, p = 0.024).ConclusionAnxiety symptoms at the end of pregnancy were associated with longitudinal changes in maternal serum homocysteine concentrations during the first 3 months postpartum.
