AI Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates how fasting and post-load glucose levels predict adverse pregnancy outcomes in women with hyperglycaemia during pregnancy (HIP).
- - An analysis of 3,206 women found that having elevated fasting blood glucose (FBG) significantly increases the risk of complications like Caesarean sections, especially when both fasting and post-load glucose levels are high.
- - The findings suggest that fasting hyperglycaemia is a stronger indicator of adverse outcomes in pregnancy than post-load hyperglycaemia alone, with the worst risks occurring when both levels are elevated.
Article Abstract
Aims: The study aims to evaluate the strength of fasting versus post-load glucose levels in predicting adverse outcomes in women with hyperglycaemia in pregnancy (HIP).
Methods: Women attending antenatal clinics in urban and peri-urban Uganda had oral glucose tolerance test between 24 and 28 weeks of gestation to screen for HIP, and were followed up to collect data on maternal and neonatal outcomes. Univariable and multivariable Poisson regression models were used to estimate the relative risk adverse outcome associated with fasting hyperglycaemia alone post-load hyperglycaemia alone, or elevation of both fasting and post-load glucose levels.
Results: We included 3206 participants in the final analysis. HIP was associated with increased risk of Caesarean section, large for gestaional age babies, and neonatal intensive care admission. The risk was highest (2.54-fold compared to normal glycaemic women) when both FBG and post-load glucose levels were elevated. After adjustment for potential confounders, having elevated post-load glucose alone was not associated with increased risk of any of the outcomes, but elevated FBG alone increased the risk of Caesarian section by 1.36-fold.
Conclusion: Fasting hyperglycemia appears to be more strongly associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes than post-load hyperglycaemia, but the risk is even higher in women with elevation of both fasting and post-load glucose levels.

Aim: To investigate the association between one-hour post-load plasma glucose (1h-PG) levels and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and metabolic-associated steatohepatitis (MASH).
Methods: Clinical data were collected from 538 obese participants who underwent oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTT) and liver biopsy in the Drum Tower Hospital affiliated with the Nanjing University Medical School. Participants were categorized into normal glucose tolerance (NGT), prediabetes (pre-DM), and type 2 diabetes (T2DM) groups, with further stratification of the NGT group into 1h-PG Low and 1h-PG High.

Article Synopsis
- The study assessed the effectiveness of enhanced insulin secretion and sensitivity measurements in diagnosing and managing gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) among pregnant women at risk.
- A total of 1,308 pregnant women were analyzed using a standard 75 g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and categorized into specific GDM subtypes based on their insulin resistance and insufficiency levels.
- Results showed that many women classified as having GDM exhibited unique characteristics, including a subgroup that was insulin-sensitive but displayed high blood sugar after meals, indicating the need for refined diagnostic criteria.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the role of one-hour post-load plasma glucose (1 h-PG) levels as an early marker for Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) risk by analyzing a longitudinal cohort over ten years.
- It categorizes participants into three groups based on their initial 1 h-PG levels and measures insulin sensitivity and β-cell function at different stages.
- Results indicate that individuals with higher 1 h-PG levels have a greater risk of developing T2D and experiencing decreased insulin sensitivity and β-cell function, highlighting the potential for early interventions in those with high 1 h-PG but normal glucose tolerance.
