Intensive Medical Nutrition Therapy Alone or with Added Metformin to Prevent Gestational Diabetes Mellitus among High-Risk Mexican Women: A Randomized Clinical Trial.
Nutrients
December 2021
Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to determine if combining intensive medical nutrition therapy (MNT) with metformin could prevent gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in high-risk Mexican women.
- An open-label randomized clinical trial included women with multiple GDM risk factors, assigning them to either receive MNT with metformin or MNT alone before 15 weeks of pregnancy.
- Results showed no significant difference in GDM incidence between the two groups, indicating that adding metformin to MNT does not provide additional benefits for preventing GDM in this population.
The primary aim of this study was to compare the prevalence of subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) using two different cut-off levels for TSH values (≥2.5 mIU/L versus ≥4.1 mIU/L).

- - The study investigated the prevalence of thyroid autoimmunity (TAI) in 203 women who experienced recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL), finding a prevalence rate of 14.8% for TAI overall.
- - Women with TAI showed significantly higher levels of thyrotropin (TSH) compared to those without TAI, but no notable differences were found in age, number of pregnancies, or causes of RPL between TAI-positive and TAI-negative women.
- - Among the various causes of RPL, women with endocrine issues had the highest prevalence of TAI, with 28% showing positive markers for the condition.
Aim: To compare the incidence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in women with three or more risk factor to developing GDM supplemented with myo-inositol plus probiotics versus women care without supplementation.
Methods: Retrospective cohort study, group 1, women with supplementation (myo-inositol 2g plus Bifidobacterium lactis and Lactobacillus rhamnosus 5x108 UFC, twice per day, from 12-14 to 28 weeks of gestation; group 2, women with prenatal care without supplementation, matched by age and body mass index (BMI). The primary outcome was the incidence of GDM using the International Association of Diabetes and Pregnancy Study Groups criteria.
Introduction: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) affects between 5 and 40% of pregnant women. Recently different interventions with nutritional supplements have been evaluated for prevention of GDM.
Aim: To perform a synthesis of the evidence on the efficacy of nutritional supplements (myo-inositol, probiotics, and vitamin D) in the prevention of GDM.
Hypothyroxinemia of prematurity increases the rate of false-positive results in total thyroxine (tT4)-based screening programs for congenital hypothyroidism. The use of specific cutoff values for preterm infants has been proposed, but data on tT4 reference ranges in this population are limited. The primary aim was to establish reference percentiles for tT4 in dried blood spots among Mexican preterm infants.
