Filter by:Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a high blood glucose (hyperglycemia) first occurring or first recognized during pregnancy, it is affecting 16.4% of women globally and 36.6 % in this region. It is consistent, strong evidence on the impact of GDM on short and long term health impacts on both mother and her child, thereby presenting significant challenges to acute care and public health. Currently, our understanding of strategies that are effective in preventing GDM is limited. Indeed, prospective studies have indicated a positive result of lifestyle intervention on preventing the risk of GDM in pregnant women but we lack consistency in the findings from randomized controlled trials (RCT). Moreover, most of these trials have been reported from developed countries and none of them were presented from this region. In the present project, we aim to determine whether GDM can be prevented by a 12-week moderate lifestyle intervention compared with usual standard care in high-risk pregnant women. In addition, we will also examine maternal pregnancy and birth outcomes.
This study aims to compare between 4 and 7 points blood glucose monitoring in women with gestational diabetes on diet modification.
This study includes pregnancies in 11 to 14 th gestational weeks. Investigators will sample maternal plasma in the first trimester and analyze maternal plasma afamin values. All these women will then be screened by two step OGTT. Investigators will compare afamin levels in GDM and control groups.
The aim of this study is, to investigate the effect of oral intake of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (ATCC 53103), Lactobacillus crispatus Lbv88, Lactobacillus rhamnosus Lbv96, Lactobacillus jensenii Lbv116 Lactobacillus gasseri Lbv150 on outcomes of pregnancy and microbiota and their interrelation.
This study aims to assess the impact of enhanced chewing on glycaemic control in females with newly diagnosed GDM. It is hypothesised, that a fixed amount of gum chewed for 20 minutes before starting each meal could improve hyperglycaemia. The impact of chewing on postprandial capillary blood glucose (measured at one hour after breakfast, lunch and dinner) is determined as the primary outcome of this study. Differences in fasting glucose and longitudinal changes over the study period should be additionally examined.
The myocardial tissue is the most likely structure affected by hyperglycemia. The myocardial performance index (MPI) is a pulsed wave Doppler-derived index of global myocardial function. It is defined as the sum of the isovolumetric contraction time (ICT) and isovolumetric relaxation time (IRT) divided by the ejection time (ET) The fetal right heart contributes more to the cardiac output than the left heart; therefore, it is important to assess the right ventricular function. The investigators will measure right ventricular MPI in diabetic and normal pregnancies.
The Huizhou mother-infant cohort was set up to investigate the effect of dietary factors and environmental exposures during pregnancy on health consequences of mothers and offsprings in Huizhou, China.
In this study the effect of the Health-Promoting Lifestyle Education Program (HPLEP) provided to women with GDM on maternal and neonatal health was investigated. The education program and also usual care applied to the intervention group, only usual care applied to the control group.
The prevalence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) has been progressively increasing. It is important to recognize and treat GDM to minimize the risk of maternal and neonatal complications. Multifaceted professional interventions are effective in the management of GDM and mobile healthcare can be an effective approach. The purpose of the current study was to develop and evaluate a model for prevention and management of GDM using mobile healthcare. Subjects with no previous history of diabetes, who were diagnosed with GDM during 24-28 weeks of gestation, were randomly divided into a conventional management group and a mobile management group. The conventional mangement group received conventional GDM management and could freely use the mobile healthcare application. The mobile management group received mobile healthcare services including tailored mobile coaching. The effectiveness of the management using the application were evaluated through the result values of the laboratory tests, anthropometric measurement performed during the study period and perinatal outcomes.
In pregnancies associated with diabetes, lowering glucose to the recommended targets to prevent adverse health outcomes often leads to significant hypoglycemia. Hybrid closed-loop (HCL) therapy, automated insulin delivery using an insulin pump getting feedback from a continuous glucose monitor (CGM), may improve outcomes. This exploratory, novel pilot feasibility randomized clinical trial will evaluate pregnant women with type 1 diabetes (T1D) on HCL therapy or Sensor-Augmented Pump Therapy (SAPT, non-communicating pump and CGM) from the 2nd trimester, throughout pregnancy, and 4-6 weeks post-partum. Comparisons will be made on safety (Specific Aim [SA] 1), indices of glycemic variability and fear of hypoglycemia (SA 2), and quality of life and device satisfaction (SA 3) between groups. Exploratory SA 4 will compare maternal and fetal outcomes between groups. Safety data will include episodes of severe hypoglycemia requiring 3rd party assistance, diabetic ketoacidosis, and skin reactions. Glycemic control will be measured by CGM time spent in glucose ranges (<63, 63-140, >140 mg/dL) and other measures of glycemic variability. Subjects will fill out surveys (Fear of Hypoglycemia, a quality of life survey, and 2 questionnaires about device satisfaction) at baseline, throughout gestation, and early post-partum. Data on maternal and fetal outcomes will be collected. Findings will reveal the safety profile and glucose control with a novel therapy for pregnant women with type 1 diabetes.
