Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the differences in maternal and neonatal outcomes between early and routine diagnoses of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).
- 3494 women were analyzed based on when they were diagnosed, with early diagnoses considered to be at or before 20 weeks of gestation, and results were measured in terms of large and small for gestational age infants.
- Findings indicated that early diagnosis and treatment benefits were present mainly for mothers with higher fasting blood glucose levels, showing fewer complications, while early treatment for those with lower fasting levels did not show similar advantages.
Background: Consuming a bedtime snack is often recommended for people with type 2 diabetes.
Objective: This systematic review aims to evaluate the evidence from intervention studies to determine whether consuming a bedtime snack improves fasting hyperglycemia and/or overall glycemic control in individuals with type 2 diabetes.
Methods: PubMed, Medline (EBSCO), Cochrane Library, and CINAHL Plus (EBSCO) databases were searched until 20 July, 2022.
The incidence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is increasing. One in three women require insulin to achieve glycaemic targets in GDM. However, it is unclear whether insulin therapy alone is the most effective treatment for all women in achieving glycaemic control and preventing adverse pregnancy outcomes.
