Objective This study aimed to investigate whether the amount of blood loss during delivery in patients with low-lying placenta is affected by the planned mode of delivery, internal os distance, and warning bleeding. Materials and methods We conducted a single-center retrospective study encompassing women with singleton pregnancies diagnosed with low-lying placenta between January 2012 and December 2021.

Background/objective: Fanconi-Bickel Syndrome (FBS) is an inherited disorder of glucose metabolism resulting from functional loss of glucose transporter 2 characterized by fasting hypoglycemia oscillating with postprandial hyperglycemia. Dysglycemia treatment strategies during FBS pregnancy have not been reported, and insulin therapy carries significant risk due to fasting hypoglycemia in FBS. We report for the first time: (1) glycemic profiles obtained via continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), (2) CGM-guided strategies for cornstarch and nutritional therapy for fasting hypoglycemia and postprandial hyperglycemia, respectively, and (3) placental glucose transporter 2 isoform expression in a pregnant individual with FBS.
