Abstract
Aims/hypothesis: To compare glycemic metrics during pregnancy between women with type 1 diabetes (T1D) delivering large-for-gestational-age (LGA) and appropriate-for-gestational-age (AGA) infants, and to identify predictors of LGA infants. Materials and Methods: A cohort study including 111 women with T1D using intermittently scanned continuous glucose monitoring from conception until delivery. Average sensor-derived metrics: mean glucose, time in range in pregnancy (TIRp), time above range in pregnancy, time below range in pregnancy, and coefficient of variation throughout pregnancy and in pregnancy intervals of 0-10, 11-21, 22-33, and 34-37 weeks were compared between women delivering LGA and AGA infants. Predictors of LGA infants were sought for. Infant growth was followed until 3 months postdelivery. Results: In total, 53% (n = 59) delivered LGA infants. Mean glucose decreased during pregnancy in both groups, with women delivering LGA infants having a 0.4 mmol/L higher mean glucose from 11-33 weeks (P = 0.01) compared with women delivering AGA infants. Mean TIRp >70% was obtained from 34 weeks in women delivering LGA infants and from 22-33 weeks in women delivering AGA infants. Independent predictors for delivering LGA infants were mean glucose throughout pregnancy and gestational weight gain. At 3 months postdelivery, infant weight was higher in infants born LGA compared with infants born AGA (6360 g ± 784 and 5988 ± 894, P = 0.04). Conclusions/interpretations: Women with T1D delivering LGA infants achieved glycemic targets later than women delivering AGA infants. Mean glucose and gestational weight gain were independent predictors for delivering LGA infants. Infants born LGA remained larger postdelivery compared with infants born AGA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Small-for-gestational-age (SGA) and large-for-gestational-age (LGA) births are major adverse birth outcomes related to newborn health. In contrast, the association between ambient air pollution levels and SGA or LGA births has not been investigated in Japan; hence, the purpose of our study is to investigate this association. METHODS We used birth data from Vital Statistics in Japan from 2017 to 2021 and municipality-level data on air pollutants, including nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2), photochemical oxidants, and particulate matter 2.5 (PM2.5). Ambient air pollution levels throughout the first, second, and third trimesters, as well as the whole pregnancy, were calculated for each birth. The association between SGA/LGA and ambient levels of the air pollutants was investigated using crude and adjusted log-binomial regression models. In addition, a regression model with spline functions was also used to detect the non-linear association. RESULTS We analyzed data from 2,434,217 births. Adjusted regression analyses revealed statistically significant and positive associations between SGA birth and SO2 level, regardless of the exposure period. Specifically, the risk ratio for average SO2 values throughout the whole pregnancy was 1.014 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.009, 1.019) per 1 ppb increase. In addition, regression analysis with spline functions indicated that an increase in risk ratio for SGA birth depending on SO2 level was linear. Furthermore, statistically significant and negative associations were observed between LGA birth and SO2 except for the third trimester. CONCLUSIONS It was suggested that ambient level of SO2 during the pregnancy term is a risk factor for SGA birth in Japan.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Diets with a high glycemic index (GI) leading to elevated postprandial glucose levels and hyperinsulinemia during pregnancy have been inconsistently linked to an increased risk for large-for-gestational-age (LGA) births. The effects of prepregnancy dietary GI on LGA risk are, to our knowledge, unknown. We examined the association of prepregnancy dietary GI with LGA births and joint associations of GI and maternal overweight/obesity and infant sex with LGA births among 10 188 infants born without congenital anomalies from 1997 to 2011, using data from the National Birth Defects Prevention Study (NBDPS). The aim of this study was to investigate this association among infants without major congenital anomalies (controls) who participated in the NBDPS and to evaluate how prepregnancy BMI and infant sex may modify this association on the additive scale. METHODS Dietary intake was ascertained using a 58-item food frequency questionnaire. We dichotomized dietary GI into high and low categories using spline regression models. Infants with a birth weight at or above the 90th percentile for gestational age and sex, according to a U.S. population reference, were considered LGA. We used logistic regression to obtain odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). RESULTS Of the infants, 859 (9%) had a high dietary GI (cut-point: 59), and 1244 infants (12%) were born LGA. Unadjusted analysis suggested an inverse association between high dietary GI and LGA (OR, 0.79; 95% CI, 0.62-0.99). No association was observed in multivariable models when comparing high dietary GI intake between LGA births and all other births (OR, 0.94; 95% CI, 0.74-1.20) or when excluding small-for-gestational-age (SGA) births (OR, 0.94; 95% CI, 0.73-1.19). No joint associations with maternal overweight/obesity or infant sex were observed. CONCLUSION High prepregnancy maternal GI was not associated with LGA births independently of or jointly with other factors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Large-for-gestational-age (LGA) neonates have increased risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes and adult metabolic diseases. We aimed to investigate the relationship between plasma angiopoietin-like protein 4 (ANGPTL4), a protein involved in lipid and glucose metabolism during pregnancy, placental function, growth factors, and the risk of LGA. METHODS We conducted a prospective cohort study and recruited women with singleton pregnancies at the National Taiwan University Hospital between 2013 and 2018. First trimester maternal plasma ANGPTL4 concentrations were measured. RESULTS Among 353 pregnant women recruited, the LGA group had higher first trimester plasma ANGPTL4 concentrations than the appropriate-for-gestational-age group. Plasma ANGPTL4 was associated with hemoglobin A1c, post-load plasma glucose, plasma triglyceride, plasma free fatty acid concentrations, plasma growth hormone variant (GH-V), and birth weight, but was not associated with cord blood growth factors. After adjusting for age, body mass index, hemoglobin A1c, and plasma triglyceride concentrations, plasma ANGPTL4 concentrations were significantly associated with LGA risk, and its predictive performance, as measured by the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve, outperformed traditional risk factors for LGA. CONCLUSIONS Plasma ANGPTL4 is associated with glucose and lipid metabolism during pregnancy, plasma GH-V, and birth weight, and is an early biomarker for predicting the risk of LGA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It is unclear whether the effects of abnormal gestational weight gain (GWG) on birth outcomes are differently in women with different maternal ages. This study aimed to investigate maternal age-specific association between GWG and adverse birth weights in Chinese women older than 30. METHODS 19,854 mother-child dyads were selected from a prospective cohort study in Southwest China between 2019 and 2022. Logistic regression model was used to assess the association between GWG, which defined by the 2009 Institute of Medicine guidelines, and adverse birth weights including large- and small-for-gestational-age (LGA and SGA), stratified by maternal age (31-34 years and ≥ 35 years). RESULTS In both maternal age groups, excessive and insufficient GWG were associated with increased odds of LGA and SGA, respectively. After women were categorized by pre-pregnancy body mass index, the associations remained significant in women aged 31-34 years, whereas for women aged ≥ 35 years, the association between excessive GWG and the risk of LGA was only significant in normal weight and overweight/obese women, and the significant effect of insufficient GWG on the risk of SGA was only observed in underweight and overweight/obese women. Moreover, among overweight/obese women, the magnitude of the association between insufficient GWG and the risk of SGA was greater in those aged ≥ 35 years (31-34 years: OR 2.08, 95% CI 1.19-3.55; ≥35 years: OR 2.65, 95% CI 1.47-4.74), while the impact of excessive GWG on the risk of LGA was more pronounced in those aged 31-34 years (31-34 years: OR 2.18, 95% CI 1.68-2.88; ≥35 years: OR 1.71, 95% CI 1.30-2.25). CONCLUSIONS The stronger associations between abnormal GWG and adverse birth weights were mainly observed in women aged 31-34 years, and more attention should be paid to this age group.

Abstract
N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most abundant mRNA internal modification in eukaryotic mRNAs. This study focuses on the effect of circMPP1 on placental villi function and the molecular mechanism. First, differentially expressed circular RNAs (circRNAs) in placenta tissues of large-for-gestational-age(LGA) neonates were screened by m6A-circRNA Epitranscriptomic Microarray and bioinformatics analyses. The abnormal expression of circMPP1 in placental tissues and cell lines was validated by RT-qPCR. In-vitro and in-vivo functional experiments were performed to evaluate the role of circMPP1 in placental impairment and fetal dysplasia. The interacting proteins of circMPP1 were identified and validated using RNA pull-down, RNA immunoprecipitation, fluorescence in situ hybridization, and immunofluorescence experiments. Protein interactions and expression levels were detected by Co-immunoprecipitation and western blot analysis. The m6A modification in circMPP1 was verified by methylated RNA immunoprecipitation assay. Bioinformatics analyses showed that circMPP1 was highly expressed in tissues with disordered placental function. In-vitro and in-vivo functional experiments showed that circMPP1 inhibited the function of placental villi. Further mechanism analyses showed that circMPP1 activated the NF-kappa B and MAPK3 signaling pathways. In addition, the m6A "reader" protein YTHDC1 was found to reduce circMPP1 expression via m6A modification. In conclusion, this study demonstrates that YTHDC1 maintains trophoblasts function by promoting degradation of m6A-mediated circMPP1.

Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS The aim of this study was to assess whether the addition of intermittently scanned continuous glucose monitoring (isCGM) to standard care (self-monitoring of blood glucose [SMBG] alone) improves glycaemic control and pregnancy outcomes in women with type 1 diabetes and multiple daily injections. METHODS This was a multicentre observational cohort study of 300 pregnant women with type 1 diabetes in Spain, including 168 women using SMBG (standard care) and 132 women using isCGM in addition to standard care. In addition to HbA1c, the time in range (TIR), time below range (TBR) and time above range (TAR) with regard to the pregnancy glucose target range (3.5-7.8 mmol/l) were also evaluated in women using isCGM. Logistic regression models were performed for adverse pregnancy outcomes adjusted for baseline maternal characteristics and centre. RESULTS The isCGM group had a lower median HbA1c in the second trimester than the SMBG group (41.0 [IQR 35.5-46.4] vs 43.2 [IQR 37.7-47.5] mmol/mol, 5.9% [IQR 5.4-6.4%] vs 6.1% [IQR 5.6-6.5%]; p=0.034), with no differences between the groups in the other trimesters (SMBG vs isCGM: first trimester 47.5 [IQR 42.1-54.1] vs 45.9 [IQR 39.9-51.9] mmol/mol, 6.5% [IQR 6.0-7.1%] vs 6.4% [IQR 5.8-6.9%]; third trimester 43.2 [IQR 39.9-47.5] vs 43.2 [IQR 39.9-47.5] mmol/mol, 6.1% [IQR 5.8-6.5%] vs 6.1% [IQR 5.7-6.5%]). The whole cohort showed a slight increase in HbA1c from the second to the third trimester, with a significantly higher rise in the isCGM group than in the SMBG group (median difference 2.2 vs 1.1 mmol/mol [0.2% vs 0.1%]; p=0.033). Regarding neonatal outcomes, newborns of women using isCGM were more likely to have neonatal hypoglycaemia than newborns of non-sensor users (27.4% vs 19.1%; ORadjusted 2.20 [95% CI 1.14, 4.30]), whereas there were no differences between the groups in large-for-gestational-age (LGA) infants (40.6% vs 45.1%; ORadjusted 0.73 [95% CI 0.42, 1.25]), Caesarean section (57.6% vs 48.8%; ORadjusted 1.33 [95% CI 0.78, 2.27]) or prematurity (27.3% vs 24.8%; ORadjusted 1.05 [95% CI 0.55, 1.99]) in the adjusted models. A sensitivity analysis in pregnancies without LGA infants or prematurity also showed that the use of isCGM was associated with a higher risk of neonatal hypoglycaemia (non-LGA: ORadjusted 2.63 [95% CI 1.01, 6.91]; non-prematurity: ORadjusted 2.52 [95% CI 1.12, 5.67]). For isCGM users, the risk of delivering an LGA infant was associated with TIR, TAR and TBR in the second trimester in the logistic regression analysis. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION isCGM use provided an initial improvement in glycaemic control that was not sustained. Furthermore, offspring of isCGM users were more likely to have neonatal hypoglycaemia, with similar rates of macrosomia and prematurity to those of women receiving standard care.

Abstract
Maternal gestational weight gain (GWG) is an important determinant of infant birth weight, and having adequate total GWG has been widely recommended. However, the association of timing of GWG with birth weight remains controversial. We aimed to evaluate this association, especially among women with adequate total GWG. In a prospective cohort study, pregnant women's weight was routinely measured during pregnancy, and their GWG was calculated for the ten intervals: the first 13, 14-18, 19-23, 24-28, 29-30, 31-32, 33-34, 35-36, 37-38 and 39-40 weeks. Birth weight was measured, and small-for-gestational-age (SGA) and large-for-gestational-age were assessed. Generalized linear and Poisson models were used to evaluate the associations of GWG with birth weight and its outcomes after multivariate adjustment, respectively. Of the 5049 women, increased GWG in the first 30 weeks was associated with increased birth weight for male infants, and increased GWG in the first 28 weeks was associated with increased birth weight for females. Among 1713 women with adequate total GWG, increased GWG percent between 14 and 23 weeks was associated with increased birth weight. Moreover, inadequate GWG between 14 and 23 weeks, compared with the adequate GWG, was associated with an increased risk of SGA (43 (13·7 %) v. 42 (7·2 %); relative risk 1·83, 95 % CI 1·21, 2·76). Timing of GWG may influence infant birth weight differentially, and women with inadequate GWG between 14 and 23 weeks may be at higher risk of delivering SGA infants, despite having adequate total GWG.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the applicability of World Health Organization (WHO) fetal growth charts for abdominal circumference (AC), femur length (FL) and estimated fetal weight (EFW) at the second and third trimester ultrasounds in a French birth cohort. MATERIALS AND METHODS Using the ELFE cohort of live births after 33 weeks' gestation in France in 2011, we selected 7747 singletons with fetal biometric measurements at the second (20-25 weeks) and third (30-35 weeks) trimester routine ultrasounds. We calculated proportions of fetuses <3rd and <10th percentiles and >90th and >97th percentiles for AC, FL and EFW using WHO charts and two international (Intergrowth and Hadlock) and two national (Salomon and CFEF) charts. Analyses were also carried out in a subsample of 4427 low-risk births. RESULTS WHO charts classified 2,3% and 8-10% of fetuses <3rd and <10th percentiles respectively, for AC and FL in the second and third trimesters and EFW in the third trimester. Similarly, about 3 and 10% of fetuses had AC, FL and EFW >97th and >90th percentile in both trimesters. Hadlock and CFEF charts also provided a good fit for third-trimester EFW <10th percentile. For most measures, Intergrowth yielded low proportions <3rd and <10th percentile, and high proportions >90th and >97th percentiles. Proportions were slightly lower for low-risk pregnancies. CONCLUSION WHO charts provided a good description of the distribution of French fetal biometric measures. Further research is needed to assess the impact of using WHO charts on obstetrical management and perinatal outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND According to the theory of fetal-derived adult diseases, abnormal fetal development might affect the occurrence of diseases in adulthood, and appropriate fetal growth status intrauterine might have a beneficial effect on it. To adapt properly for fetal development, there are numerous changes in the maternal physiology during pregnancy, including blood lipid metabolism. The aim of this study is to evaluate the association between lipid profiles in the second and third trimesters of normal pregnancy and fetal birth weight. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study population was derived from 5695 pregnant women, who maintained routine prenatal care at the women's hospital of Zhejiang University, School of medicine January 1, 2014, and December 31, 2014. The pregnant women in this study all carried uncomplicated singleton pregnancies to at least 37 weeks. RESULTS The mean (standard deviation) birth weight was 3361.00 (385.94) g; 413 (7.3%) of the infants were large for gestational age, and 330 (5.8%) were macrosomia. On multiple linear regression analysis, positive determinants of birth weight were gravidity, parity, gestational age at delivery, male infant, maternal height, and weight before pregnancy, weight gain during pregnancy, fasting blood glucose (FBG) level, second-trimester cholesterol (TC) and third-trimester triglyceride (TG), gestational albumin (ALB), and third-trimester high-density lipoprotein (HDL-C) levels were each negatively associated with birth weight. On logistic regression analysis, the significant metabolic lipid predictors of delivering a large-for-gestational-age infant were second- and third-trimester TG (aOR = 1.178, 95% CI 1.032-1.344, p = 0.015; aOR = 1.106, 95% CI 1.043-1.173, p = 0.001, respectively) and second- and third-trimester HDL-C level (aOR = 0.655, 95% CI 0.491-0.874, p = 0.004; aOR = 0.505, 95% CI 0.391-0.651, p < 0.001, respectively). Third-trimester TG and HDL-C were stable predictors of large-for-gestational-age infants in stratification analysis. High TG and low HDL-C level during third trimester could be considered as indicators of a high risk of large for gestational age (LGA) and macrosomia, regardless of infant gender. CONCLUSION These results suggest that future lifestyle programs in women of reproductive age with a focus on lowering TG levels (i.e., diet, weight reduction, and physical activity) may help to reduce the incidence of LGA and macrosomia.

Abstract
Background Offspring of women with type 1 diabetes are at increased risk of fetal growth patterns which are associated with perinatal morbidity. Our aim was to compare rates of large- and small-for-gestational age (LGA; SGA) defined according to different criteria, using data from the Continuous Glucose Monitoring in Type 1 Diabetes Pregnancy Trial (CONCEPTT). Methods This was a pre-specified analysis of CONCEPTT involving 225 pregnant women and liveborn infants from 31 international centres (ClinicalTrials.gov NCT01788527; registered 11/2/2013). Infants were weighed immediately at birth and GROW, INTERGROWTH and WHO centiles were calculated. Relative risk ratios, sensitivity and specificity were used to assess the different growth standards with respect to perinatal outcomes, including neonatal hypoglycaemia, hyperbilirubinaemia, respiratory distress, neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admission and a composite neonatal outcome. Results Accelerated fetal growth was common, with mean birthweight percentiles of 82.1, 85.7 and 63.9 and LGA rates of 62, 67 and 30% using GROW, INTERGROWTH and WHO standards respectively. Corresponding rates of SGA were 2.2, 1.3 and 8.9% respectively. LGA defined according to GROW centiles showed stronger associations with preterm delivery, neonatal hypoglycaemia, hyperbilirubinaemia and NICU admission. Infants born > 97.7th centile were at highest risk of complications. SGA defined according to INTERGROWTH centiles showed slightly stronger associations with perinatal outcomes. Conclusions GROW and INTERGROWTH standards performed similarly and identified similar numbers of neonates with LGA and SGA. GROW-defined LGA and INTERGROWTH-defined SGA had slightly stronger associations with neonatal complications. WHO standards underestimated size in preterm infants and are less applicable for use in type 1 diabetes. Trial registration This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov. number NCT01788527. Trial registered 11/2/2013. Supplementary Information The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1186/s12884-021-03554-6.

Abstract
Background Whether the delivery of a large-for-gestational-age (LGA) infant predicts future maternal metabolic syndrome (MetS) is not known. To this aim, we investigated the incidence of MetS and its components in women with or without a history of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) with a view to the birth weight of the offspring. Methods Eight hundred seventy six women treated for their pregnancies in Kuopio University Hospital in 1989–2009 underwent a follow-up study (mean follow-up time 7.3 (SD 5.1) years), of whom 489 women with GDM and 385 normoglycemic controls. The women were stratified into two groups according to the newborn’s birth weight: 10-90th percentile (appropriate-for-gestational-age; AGA) (n = 662) and > 90th percentile (LGA) (n = 116). MetS and its components were evaluated in the follow-up study according to the International Diabetes Federation criteria. Results LGA vs. AGA delivery was associated with a higher incidence of MetS at follow-up in women with a background of GDM (54.4% vs. 43.6%), but not in women without GDM. Conclusion An LGA delivery in women with GDM is associated with a higher risk of future MetS and this group is optimal to study preventive measures for MetS. In contrast, an LGA delivery after a normoglycemic pregnancy was not associated with an increased future maternal MetS risk.

Abstract
AIMS Was to determine whether the birth weight of the infant predicts prediabetes (impaired fasting glucose, impaired glucose tolerance, or both) and type 2 diabetes (T2DM) during long-term follow-up of women with or without gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). METHODS The women with or without GDM during their pregnancies in Kuopio University Hospital in 1989-2009 (n=876) were contacted and invited for an evaluation. They were stratified into two groups according to the newborn's birth weight: 10-90th percentile (appropriate-for-gestational-age; AGA) (n=662) and >90th percentile (large-for-gestational-age; LGA) (n=116). Glucose tolerance was investigated with an oral glucose tolerance test after a mean follow-up time of 7.3 (SD 5.1) years. RESULTS The incidence of T2DM was 11.8% and 0% in the women with and without GDM, respectively, after an LGA delivery. The incidence of prediabetes increased with offspring birth weight categories in the women with and without GDM: from 46.3% and 26.2% (AGA) to 52.9% and 29.2% (LGA), respectively. CONCLUSIONS GDM women with LGA infants are at an increased risk for subsequent development of T2DM and therefore represent a target group for intervention to delay or prevent T2DM development. In contrast, an LGA delivery without GDM does not increase T2DM risk.

Abstract
Objectives To study the independent effect of pre-pregnancy weight, gestational weight gain (GWG), and other important risk factors on newborn birth weight. Methods Baseline data of 435 adult women and their singletons born between January and February 2012 at a public hospital in Brazil were used. Logistic regression was applied to determine the independent importance of pre-pregnancy weight and GWG for large for gestational age (LGA) newborns. Results Among all mothers, 37.9 % were overweight and obese before pregnancy and 45.3 % experienced excessive GWG. Among the newborns, 24.4 % were classified as LGA. Univariate analysis showed an association of family income, GWG, pre-pregnancy BMI and excessive GWG with LGA newborns. Smoking before and during pregnancy was associated with a decreased likelihood of giving birth to an LGA newborn compared to mothers who did not smoke. After adjustment for confounding variables, age at birth of first child, GWG, HbA1c and pre-pregnancy weight-GWG were significant and independent determinants of giving birth to an LGA newborn. Mothers with pre-pregnancy overweight and excessive GWG were more likely to deliver an LGA newborn (OR 2.54, P < 0.05) compared to mothers who were normal weight and experienced adequate GWG. Conclusions for Practice Age at first birth of child, GWG, HbA1c and pre-pregnancy overweight combined with excessive GWG are independent determinants of LGA newborns. The results of this study suggest that both primary prevention of overweight in women of childbearing age and management of GWG may be important strategies to reduce the number of LGA newborns and, consequently, the long-term public health burden of obesity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the risks of delivering small-for-gestational-age (SGA) and large-for-gestational-age (LGA) infants in women with early- (delivered before 34weeks of gestation) and late-onset (delivered at or after 34weeks of gestation) preeclampsia. STUDY DESIGN We conducted a retrospective cohort study of 29,494 singleton deliveries after 24weeks' gestation, excluding pregnancies complicated by fetal anomalies, stillbirths, and prepregnancy diabetes mellitus. Univariate and multivariate logistic analyses adjusted for potential confounding factors, including prepregnancy body mass index (BMI), gestational weight gain (GWG), and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), were performed. RESULTS Among women who delivered before 34weeks, significantly more women with preeclampsia delivered SGA infants than women without preeclampsia (50.6% vs. 7.0%; adjusted odds ratio [OR] 16.3; 95% confidence interval [CI] 8.1-32.9). Among women who delivered at or after 34weeks, women with preeclampsia had higher rates of delivering SGA (25.5% vs. 7.0%) and LGA (13.7% vs. 9.9%) infants than women without preeclampsia. After adjustment for confounding factors, preeclampsia remained a significant risk factor for delivering SGA infants (adjusted OR 5.7; 95% CI 4.6-7.1), but the association between preeclampsia and the delivery of LGA infants was diminished (adjusted OR 0.8; 95% CI 0.6-1.1). CONCLUSIONS Our results confirm that preeclampsia is associated with SGA and that the association is stronger with early-onset disease. Although women with late-onset preeclampsia had a higher rate of delivering LGA infants, the association between late-onset preeclampsia and LGA is due to confounding factors, such as high prepregnancy BMI, excessive GWG, and GDM, related to maternal metabolic abnormalities.

Abstract
Background Excessive maternal pre-pregnancy and gestational weight gain are related to pregnancy- and birth outcomes. The interpregnancy time window offers a unique opportunity to intervene in order to acquire a healthy lifestyle before the start of a new pregnancy. Methods INTER-ACT is an e-health driven multicentre randomised controlled intervention trial targeting women at high risk of pregnancy- and birth related complications. Eligible women are recruited for the study at day 2 or 3 postpartum. At week 6 postpartum, participants are randomised into the intervention or control arm of the study. The intervention focuses on weight, diet, physical activity and mental well-being, and comprises face-to-face coaching, in which behavioural change techniques are central, and use of a mobile application, which is Bluetooth-connected to a weighing scale and activity tracker. The intervention is rolled out postpartum (4 coaching sessions between week 6 and month 6) and in a new pregnancy (3 coaching sessions, one in each trimester of pregnancy); the mobile app is used throughout the two intervention phases. Data collection includes data from the medical record of the participants (pregnancy outcomes and medical history), anthropometric data (height, weight, waist- and hip circumferences, skinfold thickness and body composition by bio-electrical impedance analysis), data from the mobile app (physical activity and weight; intervention group only) and questionnaires (socio-demographics, breastfeeding, food intake, physical activity, lifestyle, psychosocial factors and process evaluation). Medical record data are collected at inclusion and at delivery of the subsequent pregnancy. All other data are collected at week 6 and month 6 postpartum and every subsequent 6 months until a new pregnancy, and in every trimester in the new pregnancy. Primary outcome is the composite endpoint score of pregnancy-induced hypertension, gestational diabetes mellitus, caesarean section, and large-for-gestational-age infant in the subsequent pregnancy. Discussion INTER-ACT is a unique randomised controlled lifestyle intervention trial in its implementation between pregnancies and during the subsequent pregnancy, with an e-health driven approach. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02989142. Registered August 2016.

Abstract
The primary aims of the treatment of gestational diabetes (GDM) are to prevent macrosomia and pregnancy complications. Many large studies and meta-analyses have demonstrated that, compared with usual care, the specific treatment of women with GDM seems to achieve these aims, including lower birthweight and lower rates of shoulder dystocia. Nutritional therapy is a cornerstone of GDM care and is generally recommended as a primary treatment. Medical treatment should be started after 1-2 weeks if normoglycaemia is not achieved with lifestyle changes. This review provides an overview of the current data on and practices for the treatment of GDM and summarises a presentation given at the 'Gestational diabetes: what's up?' symposium at the 2015 annual meeting of the EASD. It is accompanied by two other reviews on topics from this symposium (by Peter Damm and Colleagues, DOI: 10.1007/s00125-016-3985-5 , and by Cuilin Zhang and colleagues, DOI: 10.1007/s00125-016-3979-3 ) and an overview by the Session Chair, Kerstin Berntorp (DOI: 10.1007/s00125-016-3975-7 ).
