Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is prevalent in obese women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). The present pilot study explored associations between OSA severity and metabolites in women with GDM. A total of 81 obese women with diet-controlled GDM had OSA assessment (median gestational age [GA] 29 weeks).

Methods: A randomized controlled trial was conducted (April 2014 - June 2016).
Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) was shown to be associated with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). However, prevalence of OSA in GDM women, its relationship to metabolic control, and predictive factors have not been studied.
Material And Methods: Eighty-two obese pregnant women with diet-controlled GDM between 24 and 34 weeks of gestation participated.
