Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a type of diabetes mellitus with normal glucose metabolism before pregnancy. Pregnant women with prepubertal diabetes have complicated clinical experiences, and the effects of severe disease or poor glycemic control on mothers and infants. The incidence of gestational diabetes mellitus is very high, and the short-term and long-term complications of the mother and the child are higher. Through the detection of blood samples, we can not only obtain the basic information related to the disease such as blood cells and blood biochemistry, but also learn the important information such as enzymes, antibodies and cell metabolites in the blood that are conducive to the diagnosis of the disease. More importantly, blood contains genetic material (such as genomic DNA) that can be used to screen for genes and break down molecules. Placenta tissue examination can provide important cellular, biochemical, immunological and other information. However, due to the complex etiology of gestational diabetes. Especially associated with genetic or immunological factors, in the short term often cannot make a definite diagnosis, and patients in hospital time is limited, some check items such as gene detection, placental tissue can't complete them in hospital, need to return the patient's blood, cord blood and placenta tissue, to facilitate later further screening and biology research. This study intended to establish gestational diabetes patient's blood, cord blood and placenta tissue samples library, screening is closely related to the disease biomarkers, such as disease-causing gene mutations, susceptible gene mutation and protein metabolism product, so as to clarify disease relationship between genotype and clinical phenotype, the pathogenesis of diseases, etc., and provide the basis for the diagnosis of disease and treatment optimization.
This is a multicenter randomized clinical trial of 828 overweight and obese individuals with gestational diabetes designed to compare standard to intensive glycemic targets.
The purpose of the study is to compare rates of neonatal hypoglycemia with maternal NPH vs determir use.
This study aims to test the following hypotheses in a longitudinal, observational study in pregnant women who will be randomized to received either a Blinded or Unblinded CGM sensor and followed-up 6-12 weeks after delivery: 1. CF-CGM device is well tolerable and accurate for glucose level monitoring in women with a normal pregnancy. 2. CF-CGM device is well tolerable and acceptable in women with GDM who are required intensive glucose monitoring on a daily basis during pregnancy and even after delivery. 3. There are trimester-specific glucose profiles observed in the whole pregnancy. 4. Pregnancies complicated with GDM would show a specific glucose profile that is different from non-GDM pregnancies (e.g. greater daily fluctuations, more episodes and longer duration of glucose spikes after meal). 5. There is a good correlation between one-day glucose profile and OGTT test at 24-31 weeks gestation GDM screening. 6. Pre-GDM screening glucose profiles is predictive of GDM diagnosis at 24-31 weeks gestation.
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is associated to adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes. The aim of this study is to address whether the addition of extra virgin olive oil to the diet of women with GDM improves maternal triglyceridemia and reduces insulin requirement and diagnosis of diabetes at postnatal reclassification.
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.
This study aims to test the following hypotheses in a randomized controlled trial of post-partum women with a history of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) that will be followed up for up to 4 years: 1. Post-partum pregnancy is ideal for behavioural modification and adopting a healthy lifestyle. Using the continous glucose monitoring (CGM) sensor and an exercise tracker will promote self-motivation and awareness by positive reinforcement and behavioural changes to improve diet, control body weight and increase physical activity in this group of post-partum women who are at high risk for developing Type II Diabetes. 2. The use of the continous glycose monitoring (CGM) sensor and exercise tracker will motivate women to modify their dietary food intake and physical activity over time, reducing their cardiovascular risk factors for developing metabolic syndrome by lowering their baseline blood pressure, BMI, reducing their waist circumference and body fat mass, glycaemic levels and fasting lipids within the targeted healthy range. 3. There will be an increase in the quality adjusted life years (QALYs) gained based on improvements in HbA1C and other proximal outcomes at the end of the trial.
Once a pregnant mother is diagnosed with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), she will be treated with either diet, medication (i.e., insulin), or both. The most important factor in GDM management is glycemic control to reduce adverse outcomes. Blood glucose levels have become the "key player" for monitoring and directing treatment during pregnancy. Large trials have confirmed that treatment of GDM to optimize glycemic control can decrease the incidence of many of these associated adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes. Up to now, SMBG (self-monitoring of blood glucose) is recommended for women with gestational diabetes that involves finger pricking up to six times daily. However, SMBG provides an incomplete picture of the daily glucose profile due to long intervals between finger pricking, and inaccurate self-reported measurements, which heavily rely on patients' compliance.
This is a prospective cohort study to assess the predictive value of fetal cardiac parameters, the change in fetal cardiac parameters (CFP), HbA1c, and/or the change in HbA1c (ΔHbA1c) for gestational diabetes.
