Background: Diabetes mellitus is the most frequently encountered endocrine disorder in pregnancy and is associated with adverse outcomes if remain undiagnosed or untreated. This study was done to compare the maternal and perinatal outcome of pregestational diabetes mellitus (PGDM) with that of gestational diabetes (GDM). Methods: This observational analytical study with group comparison was carried out in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, BIRDEM General Hospital, Dhaka from July 2015 to June 2016. This study was conducted on two groups of pregnant women: group A (PGDM) and group B (GDM). A total of 100 cases were selected and in each group 50 pregnant women were enrolled. Singleton pregnancy and age 18 to 45 years were included. Pregnancy with hypertension, heart disease, renal disease and other metabolic disorders were excluded. Results: In this study mean gestational age of the study subjects were 35.72 ± 2.61 weeks and 36.58 ± 2.34 weeks in PGDM and GDM groups. History of GDM [34.0% vs 16.0%], intrauterine death (IUD) [14.0% vs 2.0%] and abortion [22.0% vas 6.0%] were significantly higher among PGDM patients than GDM patients. Regarding present pregnancy complications, polyhydramnios [32.0% vs 14.0%], preterm delivery [38.0% vs 20.0%], vulvovaginitis [28.0% vs 12.0%] and premature rupture of membrane (PROM) [24.0% vs 8.0%] were significantly higher in PGDM than GDM patients. Wound infection was significantly high in PGDM groups [35.7% vs 11.1%] among the patients delivered by lower uterine Cesarean section (LUCS). Regarding perinatal complications, hypoglycemia [22.0% vs 8.0%], birth asphyxia [24.0% vs 8.0%], RDS [24.0% vs 8.0%] were significantly higher among PGDM comparing GDM patients. Conclusion: The maternal and perinatal outcomes of pregestational diabetes mellitus were less favorable than those of gestational diabetes mellitus. Birdem Med J 2019; 9(2): 127-132

Background: Gestational diabetes mellitus is the commonest medical disorder in pregnancy. Women with GDM are at increased risk for adverse obstetric and perinatal outcome. Prevalence of GDM is known to vary widely depending on region of the country, dietary habits and socio-economic status. This study was undertaken to evaluate the prevalence of GDM and risk factors associated with it among women delivered in a rural tertiary teaching hospital in Telangana and further assess its impact on feto-maternal outcome.Methods: A retrospective study was conducted at Mediciti Institute of Medical Sciences on GDM cases delivered from May 2015 to April 2017. GDM was diagnosed using 2 step procedure of screening with glucose challenge test followed by confirmation with oral glucose tolerance test using Carpenter and Couston criteria. Demographic data and details about perinatal outcome were obtained from medical records and analyzed.Results: The prevalence was low (1.83%) compared to other studies. Majority of the women did not have risk factors. Preeclampsia is the commonest maternal complication seen (18%). Hypothyroidism is more often associated with GDM (15%). Caesarean section rate was high (62%). Though the NICU admission rate was high (76%), neonatal outcome was found to be satisfactory.Conclusions: The low prevalence of GDM seen highlights the importance of carrying out studies in different population groups of India to know the exact prevalence of GDM in the country. Pregnancies in women with GDM continue to be at increased risk of maternal and perinatal complications.

Background: Gestational diabetes mellitus is defined as any glucose intolerance with the onset or first recognition during pregnancy. Objectives of this study were to diagnose cases of GDM by screening with DIPSI criteria at less than 28 weeks. And observation and comparison of maternal and perinatal outcome in women diagnosed of GDM in less than 20 weeks and at 24-28 weeks.Methods: This was the prospective analytical study conducted in the department of obstetrics and gynecology for one year in Muzaffarnagar medical college and Hospital. After history taking, clinical and obstetrics examination 1503 antenatal patients of less than 28 weeks were enrolled underwent screening with DIPSI criteria. Out of which 80 patients with abnormal OGTT of gestational age less than 20 weeks and 69 patients with abnormal OGTT of gestational age 24 -28 weeks.Results: In early diagnosed GDM group alive and healthy babies were slightly lower as compared with late diagnosed GDM group.Conclusions: The diagnosis of GDM gives us an opportunity in identifying individuals who will be benefitted by early therapeutic intervention with diet, exercise, and normalizing the weight to delay or prevent the onset of the disease.

Hba1c Levels

Background: Estimation of HbA1c in gestational diabetes mellitus patients is not being recommended by any societies/guidelines as studies regarding the role of HbA1c for monitoring of euglycemic control and predicting the maternal and perinatal outcomes in GDM patients (unlike overt diabetes) are conflicting and sparse.Methods: This was a prospective study with an aim to evaluate the role of HbA1c estimation in late pregnancy (early and late third trimester) for prediction of pregnancy outcomes in GDM patients. 53 patients with GDM (diagnosed before third trimester) were recruited for the study. HbA1c levels were estimated in late pregnancy (at 28-32 weeks and again repeated at 37 - 39 weeks or at the time of delivery). Correlation of HbA1c levels in third trimester with maternal and perinatal outcome was studied in patients with gestational diabetes mellitus and cut off taken was 5.8%.Results: Of the total 53 patients 54.7% had HbA1c levels <5.8% and 45.3% had HbA1c ≥5.8% done at 28-32 weeks. Also when HbA1c levels done at 37-39 weeks POG/ at the time of delivery, 52.8% patients had <5.8% and 47.2% had HbA1c ≥5.8%. Approximately one-fourth of the patients had HbA1c ≥ 5.8% even with normal blood sugar levels (euglycemic) control. There was statistically significant increased incidence of polyhydramnios, LGA (large for gestational age babies) and increased mean birth weight in patients with HbA1c ≥ 5.8%, done in late pregnancy. However there was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of preterm labour, gestational hypertension or preeclampsia, urinary tract infections, vulvovaginal infections, caesarean deliveries and postpartum haemorrhage in patients with HbA1c ≥5.8% compared to patients with HbA1c <5.8%.Conclusions: The study revealed that in patients of GDM with HbA1c levels ≥5.8% done in third trimester was statistically significantly associated with increased incidence of polyhydramnios, large for gestational age babies and increased mean birth weight when compared to patients with HbA1c <5.8%.
