Routine screening of women with a glucose challenge test may find more women with gestational diabetes than only screening women with risk factors. [37] Hemoglobin A 1c (HbA1c) is not recommended for diagnosing gestational diabetes, as it is a less reliable marker of glycemia during pregnancy than oral glucose tolerance testing (OGTT).
The risk of congenital malformations in pregestational type 1 diabetes is directly correlated with glucose and glycohemoglobin levels in the blood. It is also inversely related to the gestational age at first exposure. The comorbidities associated with pregestational type 2 diabetes include advanced maternal age, lipid peroxidation and obesity. [5]
The diagnosis of gestational diabetes is then defined by a blood glucose level meeting or exceeding the cutoff values on at least two intervals, [12] with cutoffs as follows: [12] Before glucose intake (fasting): 5.3 mmol/L (95 mg/dL) 1 hour after drinking the glucose solution: 10.0 mmol/L (180 mg/dL) 2 hours: 8.6 mmol/L (155 mg/dL)
Maternal blood draw after ingestion of glucose drink ~1–2 days To indicate the possibility of gestational diabetes Very low risk, however there is the potential for bruising, pain, nerve damage, fainting, haematoma, bacterial infection, and bloodborne pathogen exposure. Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (Screen) [20] Week 26 – 28 Less invasive
Pre-gestational diabetes can be classified as Type 1 or Type 2 depending on the physiological mechanism. Type 1 diabetes mellitus is an autoimmune disorder leading to destruction of insulin-producing cell in the pancreas; type 2 diabetes mellitus is associated with obesity and results from a combination of insulin resistance and insufficient insulin production.
While some complications improve or are fully resolved after pregnancy, some may lead to lasting effects, morbidity, or in the most severe cases, maternal or fetal mortality. [1] [2] [3] Common complications of pregnancy include anemia, gestational diabetes, infections, gestational hypertension and pre-eclampsia.
Insulin tolerance test: Response increases during first half of pregnancy and then normalizes until several weeks postpartum TSH: TRH stimulation: Response unchanged Pancreatic Insulin: Glucose tolerance test: Peak glucose increases, and glucose concentration remains elevated for longer Adrenal Cortisol: ACTH infusion
Oral glucose tolerance test- measures an individual's blood glucose after he or she have gone at least 8 hours without eating and two hours after the diabetic individual have drunk a glucose-containing beverage. This test can be used to diagnose diabetes or pre-diabetes; Random plasma glucose test-the doctor checks one's blood glucose without ...
