Do We Know How to Find Gestational Diabetes Mellitus?

Pathophysiology
Current Diagnosis Guideline
Discrepancies
3
A carbohydrate intolerance of varying degrees and severity with onset or first recognition during pregnancy with a probable resolution after the end of pregnancy. Diabetes, glucose intolerance or insulin resistance may have existed before the pregnancy.
Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM)
4
Insulin resistance occurs because the hormonal changes associated with pregnancy partially block the effects of insulin.
Insulin resistance causes glucose to be shunted from the mother to the fetus to facilitate fetal growth and development.
During the third trimester of pregnancy, insulin resistance increases by 50%.
Pregnancy Pathophysiology
5
Maternal pancreatic beta cells increase insulin secretion almost 3 fold to compensate for increased insulin resistance.
If the mother’s pancreas is unable to produce sufficient insulin to overcome insulin resistance, maternal glucose levels increase and GDM occurs.
GDM usually disappears after pregnancy because the hormonal changes that caused insulin resistance are no longer present.

Management
Medical Nutrition therapy: nutrition restriction and reconstruction
Insulin Therapy

Value of Laboratory Screening for GDM
Screening, identification and treatment can decrease the morbidity and mortality of GDM.
Decreased macrosomia, cesarean birth and birth trauma due to a > 4000g infant.
Decreased neonatal hypoglycemia, hypocalcemia, hyperbilirubinemia, polycythemia.
Identify women at future risk for diabetes and those with insulin resistance.

Demographics of GDM
Most common medical complication of pregnancy
The prevalence may range from 1 to 14% of all pregnancies, depending on the
population studied and the diagnostic tests employed.
9
Age <25 years
Weight normal before pregnancy
Member of an ethnic group with a low prevalence of GDM
No known diabetes in first-degree relatives
No history of abnormal glucose tolerance
No history of poor obstetric outcome
Low-risk Group:Requires no glucose testing, but this category is limited to those women meeting all of the following characteristics:
Who Should be Screened
10
High Risk Group:Should undergo glucose testing as soon as feasible. If they are found not to have GDM at that initial screening, they should be retested
between 24 and 28 weeks of gestation.
Marked obesityPersonal history of GDMGlycosuriaA strong family history of diabetes
Who Should be Screened
11
Women of average risk should have testing undertaken at 24–28 weeks of gestation.

Two-Step Screening
If >7.2-7.8mmol/l, proceed to diagnostic oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT).
If glucose level < 7.2-7.8mmol/l (130-140mg/dl)No further screening needed.
50g glucose challenge test (GCT)(non-fasting)1hr
Nearly 25 % of women will have a + 1hr GCT, and will need a OGTT.
15
One-Step Screening
Directly proceed to diagnostic oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT).
The one-step approach may be cost-effective in high-risk patients or population.

Skepticism
Developed in different population
Should we use the same cutoff concentrations?
2 out of 3 or 2 out of 4 thresholds?
