Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to compare glycemic control and outcomes in women with gestational diabetes treated with either insulin detemir or insulin NPH.
- - It included 192 women, with no significant differences in insulin dosage or maternal weight gain between the two treatment groups, but a slightly lower HbA1c was observed in the detemir group.
- - Overall, insulin detemir was found to be equally effective and safe compared to NPH for managing gestational diabetes without causing hypoglycemia or allergic reactions.
Objective: To analyze the relationship between smoking and the risk of GDM, as well as with the OGTT profile during pregnancy.
Patients And Methods: A total of 7437 pregnant women were studied. OGTT was performed at the 3rd trimester.
Article Synopsis
- Women who had gestational diabetes (GDM) are more likely to get type 2 diabetes (T2D) later on, so doctors check their blood sugar after they give birth.
- This study looked at whether a quick blood test called HbA1c could replace a longer test called OGTT to find out if these women have prediabetes or T2D.
- The results showed that while HbA1c found fewer cases of prediabetes and T2D compared to the OGTT, it was very accurate when it said someone did not have diabetes.
Objective: The aim of the study was to evaluate the significance of the presence of thyroid peroxidase autoantibodies (anti-TPO Abs) in type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM1) pregnant women relative to the course of pregnancy and, especially, with regard to metabolic control, thyroid function, maternal complications and neonatal outcome.
Methods: In a prospective observational study of 91 DM1 women with singleton pregnancies, anti-TPO, anti-thyroglobulin, thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), and free thyroxine index (T4/thyroid binding capacity) were measured in each trimester. At each visit, HbA1c, body mass index, and units of insulin per kilogram were recorded, as were complications and pregnancy outcome.
