Aim. Our aim was to evaluate the uptake of our current screening strategy postpartum and the risk factors for glucose intolerance in women with a recent history of gestational diabetes (GDM).Methods. Retrospective analysis of files of women with a recent history of GDM diagnosed with the Carpenter and Coustan criteria from 01-01-2010 till 31-12-2013. Multivariable logistic regression was used to adjust for confounders.Results. Of all 231 women with a recent history of GDM, 21.4% (46) did not attend the scheduled postpartum OGTT. Of the women tested, 39.1% (66) had glucose intolerance and 5.3% (9) had diabetes. These women were more often overweight (39.7% versus 25.3%,P= 0.009), were more often treated with basal-bolus insulin injections (52.0% versus 17.4%,P= 0.032), and had a lower beta-cell function and lower insulin sensitivity, remaining significant after adjustment for age, BMI, and ethnicity (insulin secretion sensitivity index-2 (ISSI-2) in pregnancy 1.5 ± 0.5 versus 1.7 ± 0.4,P= 0.029; ISSI-2 postpartum 1.5 (1.2–1.9) versus 2.2 (1.8–2.6),P= 0.020; Matsuda index postpartum 3.8 (2.6–6.2) versus 6.0 (4.3–8.8),P= 0.021).Conclusion. Glucose intolerance is frequent in early postpartum and these women have a lower beta-cell function and lower insulin sensitivity. One fifth of women did not attend the scheduled OGTT postpartum.

Aims: Our aim was to evaluate the uptake of postpartum screening, the prevalence and the risk factors for glucose intolerance in women with a recent history of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Methods: All women with a history of GDM are advised to undergo a 75g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) around 6 - 12 weeks postpartum. Indices of insulin sensitivity (the Matsuda index and the reciprocal of the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance, HOMA-IR) and an index of beta-cell function, the Insulin Secretion-Sensitivity Index-2 (ISSI-2) were calculated based on the OGTT postpartum. Multivariable logistic regression was used to some factors. Results: Of all women (135) who received an OGTT postpartum, 42.2% (57) had glucose intolerance (11.8% impaired fasting glucose, 24.4% impaired glucose tolerance and 6.0% both impaired fasting and impaired glucose tolerance) and 1.5% (2) had overt diabetes. Compared to women with a normal OGTT postpartum, women with glucose intolerance and diabetes were older (32.5 ± 4.3 vs. 30.8 ± 4.8 years, p = 0.049), were more often obese (34.5% vs. 17.3%, p = 0.023). In the multivariable logistic regression, an EM background [OR = 2.76 (1.15 - 6.62), p = 0.023] and the HbA1c level at the time of the OGTT in pregnancy [OR = 4.78 (1.19 - 19.20), p = 0.028] remained significant predictors for glucose intolerance postpartum. Women with glucose intolerance and diabetes postpartum had a similar insulin sensitivity [Matsuda index 0.656 (0.386 - 1.224) vs. 0.778 (0.532 - 1.067), p = 0.709; HOMA-IR 0.004 (0.002 - 0.009) vs. 0.064 (0.003 - 0.007), p = 0.384] but a lower beta-cell function compared to women with a normal OGTT postpartum, remaining significant after adjustment for confounders [ISSI-2 1.6 (1.2 - 2.1) vs. 1.9 (1.7 - 2.4), p = 0.002]. Conclusions: Glucose intolerance is very frequent in early postpartum in women with GDM these women have an impaired beta-cell function. Nearly one third of women did not attend the scheduled OGTT postpartum and these women have an adverse risk profile. More efforts are needed to engage and stimulate women with GDM to attend the postpartum OGTT.

Abstract Objectives Eating at times that conflict with our physiology and coincide with the biological evening has been associated with increased disease risk. In free-living adults from the ONTIME-MT study (#NCT03036592) study, we tested the hypothesis that advancing the timing of dinner relative to bedtime, simulated by advancing an evening oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), will result in improved glucose control. Methods In a randomized, cross-over study design, following an 8h fast, each participant underwent two evening 2-hour 75-gram oral OGTT: early and late (4h vs. 1h prior to habitual bedtime), simulating early and late dinner timing. Habitual bedtime was determined using one-week of electronic sleep logs via smartphone application. The OGTT order was randomized and separated by 1-week washout period. Light intensity was kept bright (≥450 lux) and dim (0–25 lux) in the early and late conditions, respectively. Melatonin was assessed at the start and end of each OGTT by radioimmunoassay. Postprandial glucose and insulin were determined using incremental area under the curve (AUC). Insulin sensitivity and beta-cell function were evaluated using standard metrices: insulin sensitivity index (ISI), corrected insulin response (CIR), and disposition index (DI). Values were compared using paired t-tests and differences were considered significant at P < 0.05. Results A total of 750 participants (mean age = 37 ± 14; 70% female; mean BMI = 26.12 ± 5.66) underwent OGTTs in two evening timing conditions. As expected, melatonin levels were higher in the late vs. early condition (4.49 ± 4.15-fold lower in the early vs. late meal condition. In the early condition, there was an 8.68% lower AUC for glucose (P = .0001) and 4.4% higher insulin AUC (P = 0.059), relative to the late condition. In addition, the CIR was 16% (P = .0001) higher and the DI was higher by 20% (P = .014) in the early compared to the late condition. The ISI was similar in both conditions (P = 0.66). Conclusions In this large study, glucose tolerance was better during early vs. late evening OGTT. Better glucose tolerance was primarily attributed to improved insulin secretion and beta-cell function. These results indicate that for the general population, advancing dinner relative to bedtime may be a novel and an effective strategy to improve glucose tolerance. Funding Sources ONTIME-MT was funded by the NIH R01 grant R01DK105072.
