Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is one of the most common pregnancy complications worldwide and the prevalence is continuously rising globally. Importantly, GDM is not an isolated complication of pregnancy. Growing evidence suggests that individuals with GDM, compared to those without GDM, have an increased risk of subsequent type 2 diabetes (T2D) and cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Substantial racial and ethnic disparities exist in the risk of GDM. However, the role of race and ethnicity in the progression from GDM to T2D and CVD remains unclear. The purpose of the current review is to summarize recent research about GDM and its life-course impacts on cardiometabolic health, including 1) the peak time of developing T2D and CVD risks after GDM, 2) the racial and ethnic disparities in the risk cardiometabolic diseases after GDM, 3) the biological plausibility and underlying mechanisms, and 4) recommendations for screening and prevention of cardiometabolic diseases among individuals with GDM, collectively to provide an updated review to guide future research. RECENT FINDINGS Growing evidence has indicated that individuals with GDM had greater risks of T2D (7.4 to 9.6 times), hypertension (78% higher), and CDV events (74% higher) after GDM than their non-GDM counterparts. More recently, a few studies also suggested that GDM could slightly increase the risk of mortality. Available evidence suggests that key CVD risk factors such as blood pressure, plasma glucose, and lipids levels are all elevated as early as < 1 year postpartum in individuals with GDM. The risk of T2D and hypertension is likely to reach a peak between 3-6 years after the index pregnancy with GDM compared to normal glycemia pregnancy. Cumulative evidence also suggests that the risk of cardiometabolic diseases including T2D, hypertension, and CVD events after GDM varies by race and ethnicity. However, whether the risk is higher in certain racial and ethnic groups and whether the pattern may vary by the postpartum cardiometabolic outcome of interest remain unclear. The underlying mechanisms linking GDM and subsequent T2D and CVD are complex, often involving multiple pathways and their interactions, with the specific mechanisms varying by individuals of different racial and ethnic backgrounds. Diabetes and CVD risk screening among individuals with GDM should be initiated early during postpartum and continue, if possible, frequently. Unfortunately, adherence to postpartum glucose testing with either obstetrician or primary care providers remained poor among individuals with GDM. A life-course perspective may provide critical information to address clinical and public health gaps in postpartum screening and interventions for preventing T2D and CVD risks in individuals with GDM. Future research investigating the racial- and ethnic-specific risk of progression from GDM to cardiometabolic diseases and the role of multi-domain factors including lifestyle, biological, and socio-contextual factors are warranted to inform tailored and culture-appropriate interventions for high-risk subpopulations. Further, examining the barriers to postpartum glucose testing among individuals with GDM is crucial for the effective prevention of cardiometabolic diseases and for enhancing life-long health.

Postpartum glucose intolerance after gestational diabetes mellitus: tailored prediction according to data-driven clusters and BMI-categories. Front Endocrinol (Lausanne) 2024; 15:1381058. [PMID: 39081793 PMCID: PMC11286585 DOI: 10.3389/fendo.2024.1381058] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/02/2024] [Accepted: 06/18/2024] [Indexed: 08/02/2024] Open
Abstract
Objectives To account for the heterogeneity of gestational diabetes (GDM), this study investigated tailored predictors during pregnancy and at 6-8 weeks postpartum of glucose intolerance (GI) at 1-year postpartum. We identified predictors according to data-driven clusters, analogous to the newly proposed diabetes classification, and for clinical ease also based on BMI-categories. Methods This is a secondary analysis of the MySweetheart trial. It included 179 women with GDM who underwent a 75g oral glucose tolerance test and HbA1c measurement at 1-year postpartum. Predictors were determined according to: a) cluster analysis based on age, BMI, HOMA-IR and HOMA-B; and b) BMI-categories (normal weight [NW], and overweight/obesity [OW/OB]). Results We identified two clusters during pregnancy and at 6-8 weeks postpartum (for both time points an "insulin-resistant", and an "insulin-deficient" cluster). The "insulin-resistant" cluster was associated with a 2.9-fold (CI: 1.46-5.87; pregnancy) and 3.5-fold (CI: 1.63-7.52; at 6-8 weeks postpartum) increased risk of GI at 1-year postpartum. During pregnancy, the most relevant predictors of GI were history of previous GDM and fasting glucose for the "insulin-deficient" and NW category and HOMA-IR for the "insulin-resistant" and OW/OB category (all p ≤0.035). In the postpartum, predictors were more heterogenous and included the insulin-sensitivity-adjusted-secretion index and 1-h glucose in the "insulin-deficient" and NW women. Main conclusions In women with GDM, we identified "insulin-resistant" and "insulin-deficient" clusters with distinct risks of future GI. Predictors varied according to clusters or BMI-categories emphasizing the need for tailored risk assessments.

Abstract
Background: Although the postpartum period is an opportunity to address long-term health, fragmented care systems, inadequate attention to social needs, and a lack of structured transition to primary care threaten patient wellbeing, particularly for low-income individuals. Postpartum patient navigation is an emerging innovation to address these disparities. Methods: This mixed-methods analysis uses data from the first year of an ongoing randomized controlled trial to understand the needs of low-income postpartum individuals through 1 year of patient navigation. We designed standardized logs for navigators to record their services, tracking mode, content, intensity, and target of interactions. Navigators also completed semistructured interviews every 3 months regarding relationships with patients and care teams, care system gaps, and navigation process. Log data were categorized, quantified, and mapped temporally through 1 year postpartum. Qualitative data were analyzed using the constant comparative method. Results: Log data from 50 participants who received navigation revealed the most frequent needs related to health care access (45.4%), health and wellness (18.2%), patient-navigator relationship building (14.8%), parenting (13.6%), and social determinants of health (8.0%). Navigation activities included supporting physical and mental recovery, accomplishing health goals, connecting patients to primary and specialty care, preparing for health system utilization beyond navigation, and referring individuals to community resources. Participant needs fluctuated, yielding a dynamic timeline of the first postpartum year. Conclusion: Postpartum needs evolved throughout the year, requiring support from various teams. Navigation beyond the typical postpartum care window may be useful in mitigating health system barriers, and tracking patient needs may be useful in optimizing postpartum care.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The impact of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) on incident dementia is unknown. Our aim was to evaluate the relationship between GDM and all-cause dementia and the mediating effects of chronic diseases on this relationship. METHODS This prospective cohort study included women from the UK Biobank who were grouped based on GDM history. Multivariate Cox proportional hazard models were used to explore the associations between GDM and dementia. We further analysed the mediating effects of chronic diseases on this relationship and the interactions of covariates. RESULTS A total of 1292 women with and 204,171 women without a history of GDM were included. During a median follow-up period of 45 years after first birth, 2921 women were diagnosed with dementia. Women with a GDM history had a 67% increased risk of incident dementia (hazard ratio 1.67, 95% confidence interval: 1.03-2.69) compared with those without a GDM history. According to mediation analyses, type 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease, chronic kidney disease and comorbidities (diagnosed with any two of the three diseases) explained 34.5%, 8.4%, 5.2% and 18.8% of the mediating effect on the relationship. Subgroup analyses revealed that physical activity modified the association between GDM history and dementia (p for interaction = 0.030). Among physically inactive women, GDM was significantly associated with incident dementia; however, this association was not observed among physically active women. CONCLUSIONS A history of GDM was associated with a greater risk of incident dementia. Type 2 diabetes partially mediated this relationship. Strategies for dementia prevention might be considered for women with a history of GDM.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the risk of type 2 diabetes(T2D) following one abnormal value(OAbV) in an oral glucose tolerance test(oGTT) performed during pregnancy. STUDY DESIGN A retrospective analysis of parturients between 01.01.2017 and 31.12.2020 with 5 years of follow-up after delivery. Glucose levels during pregnancy were extracted from the computerized laboratory system of Meuhedet HMO and cross-tabulated with the Israeli National Registry of Diabetes. Women with multiple gestations or pregestational diabetes were excluded. Maternal characteristics and risk of T2D were stratified and compared between 3 groups: normal glucose status, OAbV in oGTT, and gestational diabetes. Statistical analysis included univariate analysis followed by survival analysis. Further analysis was stratified to women with and without obesity. RESULTS 58,693 women entered the analysis. Following an adjustment to maternal age, obesity, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia, OAbV in oGTT was associated with a 1.8-fold increased risk of T2D in a 5-year follow-up compared to normal glucose status. When stratified by obesity, OAbV was associated with a 3.7-fold increase in T2D in women without obesity, however, was no longer a statistically significant predictor of T2D among women with obesity. CONCLUSIONS Women with OAbV oGTT during pregnancy are at increased risk for developing T2D over 5 years of follow-up.

Abstract
AIM To assess the effectiveness of a phone reminder to improve adherence to post-partum glucose tolerance testing in women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and to identify clinical predictors of adherence to post-partum follow-up. METHODS Retrospective study including 543 women with GDM. We assessed the adherence rate to post-partum glucose tolerance testing in women who received a phone reminder (n = 297) compared to women not alerted (n = 246). Demographic and clinical variables were collected to identify the predictors of adherence to the post-partum oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). RESULTS The adherence to post-partum OGTT was higher in women who received the phone reminder compared to those not alerted (60.6 % vs. 35.4 %, p < 0.001). Women less compliant compared to those more compliant, had a higher pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) (29.3 ± 7.9 vs. 27.0 ± 6.1 Kg/m2, p = 0.03). The adherence was lower in pre-pregnant obese compared to non-obese women (42.7 % vs. 52.0 %, p < 0.05), in women with only one, compared to multiple OGTT alterations during pregnancy (44.5 % vs. 57.8 %, p < 0.05), and in women non-insulin treated compared to those insulin-treated (40.0 % vs. 57.1 % vs, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The phone reminder improved post-partum follow-up adherence. Pre-pregnancy BMI, number of OGTT alterations and type of therapy could identify poorly adherent women.

Trajectories and associations of symptoms of mental health and well-being with insulin resistance and metabolic health in women with gestational diabetes. Psychoneuroendocrinology 2024; 160:106919. [PMID: 38091918 DOI: 10.1016/j.psyneuen.2023.106919] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/26/2023] [Revised: 11/17/2023] [Accepted: 12/05/2023] [Indexed: 01/02/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is characterized by increased insulin resistance and carries perinatal and long-term risks for the mother and her offspring. There is a link between perinatal depression or anxiety and GDM. Mental health problems are associated with higher insulin resistance and could explain the underlying association between GDM and depression or anxiety symptoms. We investigated the trajectories and associations between symptoms of mental health and well-being with insulin resistance and metabolic health in women with GDM. METHODS This study included the control group (n = 106) of a randomized controlled trial in women with GDM that were followed-up during pregnancy and up to 1-year postpartum. We measured symptoms of mental health (Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS), Anxiety subscale of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS-A), well-being (The World Health Organization Well-Being Index (WHO-5)) and metabolic health, including insulin resistance variables (HOMA-insulin resistance (IR) and Matsuda Index of insulin sensitivity) as well as weight during pregnancy and in the postpartum. RESULTS Participants' pre pregnancy weight and BMI were 69.7 kg ± 16.1 and 25.9 kg/m2 ± 5.5 respectively. HOMA-IR was higher during pregnancy compared to 6-8 weeks postpartum and increased between 6-8 weeks and 1-year postpartum (all p < 0.05). Matsuda index decreased between 6-8 weeks and 1-year postpartum (p < 0.001). EPDS scores decreased between pregnancy and both 6-8 weeks and 1-year postpartum (all p < 0.05). HADS-A scores did not change between pregnancy and the postpartum. WHO-5 scores improved significantly from pregnancy and both 6-8 weeks and 1-year postpartum (p < 0.001). Correlation coefficients within outcome at the three different time points were high for metabolic measures and ranged between 0.94 and 0.96 for weight, from 0.77 to 0.89 for HOMA-IR and 0.64 for the Matsuda index (all p < 0.001). Mental health and well-being variables were moderately correlated in all three time points including r = 0.36-0.55 for the EPDS (p < 0.001), r = 0.58 for HADS (p < 0.001), and r = 0.43-0.52 for the WHO-5 (p < 0.01). After adjustment for age and pre-pregnancy BMI, Matsuda index was negatively associated with EPDS scores and positively associated to WHO-5 scores at 6-8 weeks postpartum. No other association between insulin resistance and mental health or well-being outcomes were found. CONCLUSION While insulin resistance fluctuated with values being lowest in the early postpartum and increasing thereafter, both depression and well-being scores decreased between pregnancy and the postpartum and did not change in the postpartum period. Intraindividual variability was larger for mental health and well-being than for metabolic health outcomes at different time points, indicating a higher plasticity for mental health and well-being outcomes that could be acted upon. We found only few associations between mental health and well-being and metabolic health outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To estimate the effect of diabetes group prenatal care on rates of preterm birth and large for gestational age (LGA) among patients with diabetes in pregnancy compared with individual diabetes prenatal care. DATA SOURCES We searched Ovid Medline (1946-), Embase.com (1947-), Scopus (1823-), Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and ClinicalTrials.gov. METHODS OF STUDY SELECTION We searched electronic databases for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and observational studies comparing diabetes group prenatal care with individual care among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus or gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). The primary outcomes were preterm birth before 37 weeks of gestation and LGA (birth weight at or above the 90th percentile). Secondary outcomes were small for gestational age, cesarean delivery, neonatal hypoglycemia, neonatal intensive care unit admission, breastfeeding at hospital discharge, long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) uptake, and 6-week postpartum visit attendance. Secondary outcomes, limited to the subgroup of patients with GDM, included rates of GDM requiring diabetes medication (A2GDM) and completion of postpartum oral glucose tolerance testing (OGTT). Heterogeneity was assessed with the Cochran Q test and I2 statistic. Random-effects models were used to calculate pooled relative risks (RRs) and weighted mean differences. TABULATION, INTEGRATION, AND RESULTS Eight studies met study criteria and were included in the final analysis: three RCTs and five observational studies. A total of 1,701 patients were included in the pooled studies: 770 (45.3%) in diabetes group prenatal care and 931 (54.7%) in individual care. Patients in diabetes group prenatal care had similar rates of preterm birth compared with patients in individual care (seven studies: pooled rates 9.5% diabetes group prenatal care vs 11.5% individual care, pooled RR 0.77, 95% CI, 0.59-1.01), which held for RCTs and observational studies. There was no difference between diabetes group prenatal care and individual care in rates of LGA overall (four studies: pooled rate 16.7% diabetes group prenatal care vs 20.2% individual care, pooled RR 0.93, 95% CI, 0.59-1.45) or by study type. Rates of other secondary outcomes were similar between diabetes group prenatal care and individual care, except patients in diabetes group prenatal care were more likely to receive postpartum LARC (three studies: pooled rates 46.1% diabetes group prenatal care vs 34.1% individual care, pooled RR 1.44, 95% CI, 1.09-1.91). When analysis was limited to patients with GDM, there were no differences in rates of A2GDM or postpartum visit attendance, but patients in diabetes group prenatal care were significantly more likely to complete postpartum OGTT (five studies: pooled rate 74.0% diabetes group prenatal care vs 49.4% individual care, pooled RR 1.58, 95% CI, 1.19-2.09). CONCLUSION Patients with type 2 diabetes and GDM who participate in diabetes group prenatal care have similar rates of preterm birth, LGA, and other pregnancy outcomes compared with those who participate in individual care; however, they are significantly more likely to receive postpartum LARC, and those with GDM are more likely to return for postpartum OGTT.

[PMID: 37708658 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejogrb.2023.09.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/27/2022] [Revised: 07/29/2023] [Accepted: 09/09/2023] [Indexed: 09/16/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) and many other clinical variables have been associated with postpartum urinary incontinence (UI). However, the data are still restricted, and no study explored early- or late-onset GDM as a risk factor for this condition. We aimed to identify independent risk factors for postpartum UI, focusing on GDM and its early or late onset. METHODS A nested case control derived from the Diamater cohort study included 517 pregnant women who submitted to a planned C-section and followed by 6-18 months after delivery according to the timing of GDM diagnosis: early-onset GDM (before 20 weeks) and late-onset GDM(24-28 weeks) and the occurrence of UI. RESULTS Univariate analysis showed that the risk for 6-18 months postpartum UI was 49% higher in non-Caucasian ethnicity (1.49,1.02-2.18), 3,3 times higher in previous bariatric surgery [3.37,1.36-8.21], 39% higher in GDM women (1.39,1.01-1.93), and 5% higher for each BMI score in prepregnancy (1.05, 1.03-1.08) and at the end of pregnancy (1.05,1.02-1.08). Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicates that prepregnancy BMI was the only independent factor associated with the 6-18 months postpartum UI (adj 1.05, 95 %CI 1.02-1.08, P <.001). After stratifying, a second univariate and multivariate analysis were done according to the prepregnancy BMI cutoff score of 25. Thus, a significant association between GDM and postpartum UI in prepregnancy overweight women (RR: 1.91; 95 %CI 1.25-2.90, P =.003) and no association between GDM and 6-18 months postpartum UI in normal prepregnancy BMI (RR: 0.78, 95 %CI 0.39-1.54, P =.482) were found. After multivariate regression, the early-onset-GDM remained the unique independent adjusted risk factor for 6-18 months postpartum UI analysis (adjRR 2.15, 95 %CI 1.33-3.46, P =.002). CONCLUSION After a planned C-section, we observed a 6-18 months postpartum UI higher occurrence after GDM, either in early-onset GDM or late-onset GDM. In addition, being overweight (BMI > 25) among women with early-onset GDM was associated with postpartum UI.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: We investigated the effect of optimal maternal glycemic control on neonatal outcomes among infants born to mothers with diabetes. Materials and Methods: In this prospective study, we assessed 88 eligible mothers admitted to the obstetrics department for pregnancy evaluation. Our analysis included 46 infants born to diabetic mothers (IDMs) and 138 infants born to unaffected mothers, all admitted to the Level II Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Results: Mothers affected by diabetes were generally older and exhibited a higher body mass index (BMI) and a greater number of gestations, although parity did not differ significantly. Cesarean section emerged as the most frequently chosen mode of delivery. A significantly higher proportion of infants in the affected group presented with respiratory disease (3% vs. 19.5%), which required NICU admission (4.3% vs. 23.9%), phototherapy (18.1% vs. 43.5%), and had congenital heart defects or myocardial hypertrophy (15.2% and 26% vs. 3% and 4.3%) compared to matched controls (p < 0.05). Conclusions: This study underscores the persistence of adverse neonatal outcomes in IDMs, even when maternal glycemic control is optimized. It calls for further investigation into potential interventions and strategies aimed at enhancing neonatal outcomes in this population.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Gestational diabetes (GD) affects up to 10% of pregnancies and increases lifetime risk of type 2 diabetes 10-fold; postpartum diabetes evaluation and primary care follow-up are critical in preventing and detecting type 2 diabetes. Despite clinical guidelines recommending universal follow-up, little remains known about how often individuals with GD access primary care and type 2 diabetes screening. OBJECTIVE To describe patterns of primary care follow-up and diabetes-related care among individuals with and without GD in the first year post partum. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS This cohort study used a private insurance claims database to compare follow-up in the first year post partum between individuals with GD, type 2 diabetes, and no diabetes diagnosis. Participants included postpartum individuals aged 15 to 51 years who delivered between 2015 and 2018 and had continuous enrollment from 180 days before to 366 days after the delivery date. Data were analyzed September through October 2021 and reanalyzed November 2022. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Primary care follow-up visits and diabetes-related care (blood glucose testing and diabetes-associated visit diagnoses) were determined by evaluation and management, Current Procedural Terminology, and International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision and International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, Tenth Revision codes, respectively. RESULTS A total of 280 131 individuals were identified between 2015 and 2018 (mean age: 31 years; 95% CI, 27-34 years); 12 242 (4.4%) had preexisting type 2 diabetes and 18 432 (6.6%) had GD. A total of 50.9% (95% CI, 49.9%-52.0%) of individuals with GD had primary care follow-up, compared with 67.2% (95% CI, 66.2%-68.2%) of individuals with preexisting type 2 diabetes. A total of 36.2% (95% CI, 35.1%-37.4%) of individuals with GD had diabetes-related care compared with 56.9% (95% CI, 55.7%-58.0%) of individuals with preexisting diabetes. Only 36.0% (95% CI, 34.4%-37.6%) of individuals with GD connected with primary care received clinical guideline concordant care with blood glucose testing 12 weeks post partum. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE In this cohort study of postpartum individuals, individuals with GD had lower rates of primary care and diabetes-related care compared with those with preexisting type 2 diabetes, and only 36% of those with GD received guideline-recommended blood glucose testing in the first 12 weeks post partum. This illustrates a missed opportunity for early intervention in diabetes surveillance and prevention and demonstrates the need to develop a multidisciplinary approach for postpartum follow-up.

Abstract
Objective: A 1-hour plasma glucose level ≥ 8.6 mmol/L in a 75 g oral glucose tolerance test has been strongly associated with increased morbidity and mortality in outpatients without diabetes. Our primary aim was to evaluate the 1-hour plasma glucose level in a 75 g glucose tolerance test in survivors of critical illness with stress hyperglycaemia at 3 months after intensive care unit (ICU) discharge, with the secondary aims to evaluate the 2-hour plasma glucose level, glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c), and gastric emptying. Design:Post hoc analysis of a single-centre, prospective cohort study. Setting: Single-centre, tertiary referral, mixed medical-surgical ICU. Participants: Consecutively admitted patients aged ≥ 18 years who developed stress hyperglycaemia and survived to hospital discharge were eligible. Interventions: Participants returned at 3 months after ICU discharge and underwent a 75 g oral glucose tolerance test. Main outcome measures: One- and 2-hour post load plasma glucose level, HbA1c, and assessment of gastric emptying via an isotope breath test. Results: Thirty-five patients (12 females; mean age, 58.5 years [SD, 10.5]; mean HbA1c, 37.4 mmol/mol [SD, 7.0]) attended the followup. In 32/35 patients (91%) the 1-hour post load plasma glucose level was ≥ 8.6 mmol/L. There was a positive correlation between the plasma glucose level at 1 hour (r2 = 0.21; P = 0.006), but no correlation between the 2-hour glucose level (r2 = 0.006; P = 0.63) and gastric emptying. Conclusion: Glucose intolerance, when defined as 1-hour glucose level ≥ 8.6 mmol/L following a 75 g oral glucose load, persists at 3 months in most survivors of stress hyperglycaemia and is dependent on the rate of gastric emptying. Longitudinal studies to characterise mechanisms underlying dysglycaemia and progression to diabetes in individuals with stress hyperglycaemia are indicated.

Abstract
Background: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) can cause maternal and neonatal health problems, and its prevalence is increasing worldwide. We assessed the screening of GDM during a 7-year period and compared the outcome of pregnancies at high risk for GDM. Methods: We analyzed non-selected pregnant women (n = 5021) receiving antenatal care in Tartu University Hospital, Estonia in 2012–2018. Pregnant women were classified based on the absence or presence of GDM risk factors as low risk (n = 2302) or high risk for GDM (n = 2719), respectively. The latter were divided into subgroups after the oral glycose tolerance test (OGTT): GDM (n = 423), normal result (n = 1357) and not tested (n = 939). Results: The proportion of women with GDM risk factors increased from 43.5% in 2012 to 57.8% in 2018, and the diagnosis of GDM more than doubled (5.2% vs. 13.7%). Pregnancies predisposed to GDM but with normal OGTT results were accompanied by an excessive gestational weight gain and increased odds to deliver a LGA baby (AOR 2.3 (CI 1.8–3.0)). Conclusions: An increasing number of pregnancies presenting GDM risk factors are diagnosed with GDM. Pregnant women with GDM risk factors are, despite normal OGTT, at risk of increased weight gain and LGA newborns.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Pregestational or gestational diabetes are the main risk factors for diabetic fetopathy. There are no generalized signs of fetopathy before the late gestational age due to insufficient sensitivity of currently employed instrumental methods. In this cross-sectional observational study, we investigated several types of severe diabetic fetopathy (cardiomyopathy, central nervous system defects, and hepatomegaly) established in type 2 diabetic mothers during 30 to 35 gestational weeks and confirmed upon delivery. We examined peripheral blood plasma and determined a small proportion of proteins strongly associated with a specific type of fetopathy or anatomical malfunction. Most of the examined markers participate in critical processes at different stages of embryogenesis and regulate various phases of morphogenesis. Alterations in CDCL5 had a significant impact on mRNA splicing and DNA repair. Patients with central nervous system defects were characterized by the greatest depletion (ca. 7% of the basal level) of DFP3, a neurotrophic factor needed for the proper specialization of oligodendrocytes. Dysregulation of noncanonical wingless-related integration site signaling pathway (Wnt) signaling guided by pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF) and disheveled-associated activator of morphogenesis 2 (DAAM2) was also profound. In addition, deficiency in retinoic acid and thyroxine transport was exhibited by the dramatic increase of transthyretin (TTHY). The molecular interplay between the identified serological markers leads to pathologies in fetal development on the background of a diabetic condition. These warning serological markers can be quantitatively examined, and their profile may reflect different severe types of diabetic fetopathy, producing a beneficial effect on the current standard care for pregnant women and infants.

Abstract
Diabetes (type 2) and sensorineural hearing loss are common health problems manifested with ageing. While both type 1 and type 2 diabetes have been associated with hearing loss, a causal link has been difficult to establish. Individuals with diabetes have twice the incidence of hearing loss compared to those without diabetes and those with prediabetes have a 30% higher rate of hearing loss. Whether hearing loss is associated with diabetes independent of glycemic control remains to be determined. Hearing loss has its own set of risk factors and shares others with diabetes. This review will summarize the complex relationship between diabetes and sensorineural hearing loss.

Abstract
Women with a history of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) are at greater risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) when compared with women who have not had GDM. To delay or prevent T2DM, guidelines recommend regular screening in the primary care setting and lifestyle interventions that are largely focused on dietary and physical activity modifications. As the postpartum period can be challenging for women, uptake and engagement in screening and lifestyle interventions have been poor. Poor uptake and engagement places women with a history of GDM at heightened risk for future morbidity and development of T2DM. Metformin has been a longstanding and safe treatment for the control of blood glucose in people with T2DM. Research has supported the efficacy of metformin, used as an adjunct to a lifestyle intervention or as a stand-alone treatment, in preventing T2DM in people at high risk of T2DM. Findings from longitudinal studies have demonstrated the potential for metformin to reduce conversion to T2DM when used by women with a previous diagnosis of GDM. This review examines the potential effectiveness of metformin to reduce the incidence of T2DM among women with a previous diagnosis of GDM in the "real-world" setting.
