Filter by:Pelvic girdle pain (PGP), which is a common musculoskeletal problem of pregnancy, and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), which is diagnosed at the end of the second trimester and at the beginning of the third trimester, occur in a parallel time period. The addition of hyperglycemia to the physiological changes in pregnancy stimulates a new series of cycles and contributes to inflammation, and it is predicted that the presence of GDM may trigger the pain intensity of PGP. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate the effect of GDM on PGP symptom severity (pain).
Diabetic parturients planned for cesarean delivery will be recruited for the study. They will receive a fixed glucose dose to mimize the effects of fasting preoperatively and their blood glucose levels will be monitored.
This study aims to investigate the presence and characteristics of maternal diabetes as a risk factor in newborns with hearing loss. Hearing loss is one of the most common congenital anomalies among newborns. The newborn hearing screening program is important for early diagnosis in newborns with hearing loss.Gestational diabetes, on the other hand, is a metabolic disease that occurs during pregnancy and can cause complications as in other diabetes mellitus patients. Despite our knowledge of major complications, the effect of the hyperglycemic intrauterine environment on hearing outcomes has not been adequately studied. The inner ear does not store energy, so it has a particularly high sensitivity to altered blood sugar and insulin. Altered inner ear metabolism leads to auditory and balance disorders. There is no study in the literature comparing uncomplicated gestational diabetes and pregestational diabetes as a prenatal complication that poses a risk of hearing loss.
Gestational diabetes is the most common metabolic abnormality during pregnancy. In a Swedish population 2-10% of all pregnant women are diagnosed with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). The frequency differs dependent of methods for screening and diagnostic references, even within Sweden. Women with GDM have about 50% risk to develop manifest type 2 diabetes (T2DM) within 20 years. Most counties in Sweden have a recommendation to follow women with GDM yearly with an examination and an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). Unfortunately, this recommendation often fails, partly due to limited resources at the health care units but also due to lack of compliance from the women. Often after the baby is born focus is changed from the mother to the child and only 30.7% of the women with one or more risk factors performed an OGTT, despite stipulated OGTT in local guidelines. The diagnose GDM is under debate and Sweden has started to implement the recommendations from World Health Organisation (WHO) from 2013 with a lower cut-off for GDM, which will increase diagnostic sensitivity and consequently increase the number of women diagnosed with GDM. The plan was to conduct a randomized, clinical trial testing implementation the new recommendations in Sweden step-wise from 2018 and onwards. The recruitment is now complete and the results are expected to be published in 2021. The overarching aim of this study is to conduct a randomized, controlled clinical trial to test the effect of a model for a lifestyle intervention in clinical practice, using technical support as well as personal, individual support. The intervention is based on the existing organisation and structure in Primary Care and would thus be inexpensive and straight-forward to implement. An additive aim is to explore background mechanisms for the development of type 2 diabetes in women with gestational diabetes.
The purpose of this research is to examine the beneficial effects of regular, non-invasive, glucose (sugar) assessment on glucose (sugar) and blood pressure regulation during pregnancy to help in predicting gestational diabetes and preeclampsia.
This randomized controlled clinical trial will assess the impact of intermittent fasting on the incidence of gestational DM in obese pregnant women in 3rd trimester and its effect on maternal and neonatal outcomes.
Black and White mothers have similar prevalence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). However Black mothers are more likely to develop Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) after a diagnosis of GDM. Both GDM and Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) increase her cardiovascular risk. The post-partum period is an ideal time to employ preventative strategies to alter her lifetime health-course. Unfortunately, Black mothers are less likely to follow up post-partum and less likely to be informed of the connection between pregnancy complications such as GDM and cardiovascular risks. The Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) is the "gold standard" for lifestyle intervention to prevent T2DM in at risk patients. From the original trial of over 1,000 racially heterogenous participants, the DPP underperformed in Black women and can be improved upon. The investigators propose a randomized controlled trial entitled: Mobilizing doulas to empower black women in post-partum diabetes prevention. This program will follow the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) curriculum as outlined by the CDC using an online platform. However, this program will expand on the DPP's educational program and provide trained community-based health care workers i.e., "doulas divas" to administer post-partum support while the participants matriculate through the online DPP. Participants will be randomized to either DPP only for one year or DPP + doula divas for one year). The investigators hypothesize that for Black participants with GDM, DPP+ doula divas program will have a completion rate superior to that of the DPP alone. The investigators propose this randomized controlled clinical trial utilizing institution and community partnerships to increase the rates of completion of post-partum diabetes prevention program in at risk women: Black women with GDM. The investigators also will implement this culturally responsive approach with the goal of reducing T2DM in Black women. Our discoveries will be a forward leap in the quest to reduce cardiovascular risk contributed by GDM and T2DM that lead to maternal morbidity and mortality.
Women post-gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) have more than 7-fold increased risk of having future type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). While a healthful dietary pattern reduces the risk of diabetes in post-GDM, no data support a dietary pattern tailored to the Malaysian diet. To address this issue, the investigators propose to determine the effects of dietary patterns and plasma metabolites in predicting the risk of T2DM known as the Nutritype model. The aim of this study is to identify Nutritype signatures of T2DM risk in women post-GDM using metabolomics approach.
The incidence of gestational diabetes increased.The multidisciplinary management of GDM during pregnancy is helpful to improve the pregnancy outcome, but it will occupy huge medical resources.Early prediction, diet and exercise interventions can reduce the incidence of gestational diabetes, but there is no reliable way to predict and intervene early.This study is a randomized controlled trials, and aims to use comprehensive prediction method (genetic screening, body composition, clinical risk factors screening) screening the subjects with high GDM risk in early pregnancy, conducting diet and exercise intervention in second trimester and observing the effect on the incidence of GDM and perinatal outcomes.
Social deprivation during pregnancy is associated to adverse perinatal outcomes. However, prenatal screening of social deprivation by reliable measurement is not performed. Prevalence of social deprivation is yet underestimated during pregnancy and vulnerable women are not being provided optimal prenatal care. Our aim is to validate EPICES score during pregnancy.
