Abstract
UNLABELLED
The aim of our study was the evaluation of the correlation between carbohydrate metabolism imbalance at the moment of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) diagnosis and regulation of glycemia during pregnancy, pregnancy complications, time and mode of delivery and conditions of the newborns.
MATERIAL
231 women with GDM delivered in our hospital between 1993-1996 were investigated. This population was divided into 6 groups, according to glycemia levels.
METHOD
The term of diagnosis of the GDM, medical treatment (diet or diet and insulin), the degree of metabolic regulation archived, mode and time of delivery, as well as state of newborns were analysed.
RESULTS
In groups I and VI we noticed the greatest percentage of patients treated with insulin (68%, 67%), versus 26% in group II and 17% in group III. In group VI in all cases treated with insulin we begun this therapy shortly after marking GDM. Glycemia in 24 hrs period after GDM diagnosis in group I were 122.7 +/- 28.6 mg/dl, in group VI 112.0 +/- 23.6 mg/dl, while we noticed 90.3 +/- 15.6 mg/dl in group II and 87.7 +/- 15.9 mg/dl in group III. Blood glucose level < 100 mg/dl in first determination of 24 hrs profiles we noticed in 5% in group I, 2% in group VI while 20% in group II and 51% in group III. Average levels of glycemia in last 24 hrs profiles before delivery in group I were 93.0 +/- 15.8 mg/dl, in group VI 96.2 +/- 21.1 mg/dl while 87.8 +/- 13.5 mg/dl in group II and 86.8 +/- 14.1 mg/dl in group III. Blood glucose level < 100 mg/dl of daily profile before the end of pregnancy was discovered in 8% in group I, 47% in group III. The greatest amount of complications (pregnancy induced hypertension and imminent premature delivery) was diagnosed in group VI-75% and in group III-55%. Surgical delivery took place in group I in 50%, in group V in 46%, in group VI in 67% while 17% in group II, 35% in group III and 30% in group IV. Macrosomy of newborns (> 4000 g) was diagnosed in group I in 36% in group V in 23% and in group VI in 42% while 9%, 6% and 15% in groups, II, III and IV respectively. The condition of newborns in the 1st minute of life was determined as good (8-10 points in Apgar scale) in significant percentage, in 87%, 75%, 70% in groups II, III, IV while only 59%, 62%, 58% in groups I, V, VI respectively.
CONCLUSION
Serious intensification of carbohydrates metabolism disorders at the moment of diagnosing GDM, such as fasting glycemia > 140 mg/dl and the result after 2 hours > 200 mg/dl in 75 g OGTT more often requires insulin treating connect with numerous difficulties both in pregnancy monitoring and also has inadventageous influence on obstetrics outcomes-increasing percentage of surgery deliveries and macrosomies, that change the condition of newborns for worse.
