Filter by:Rationale: Most BGM (blood glucose monitoring) devices in Vietnam are manufactured for home use only. However, they are commonly used in healthcare facility, primarily at point of care. We want to assess the validity of these devices by using CLSI (Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute) POCT12-A3 to assess the accuracy. Objective: To validate the accuracy and effect of hematocrit on these devices, along with the precision profile using CLSI EP15A3 Study design: This is a cross-sectional study. Study population: Because we need a wide range of blood glucose level. We chose pregnant women who underwent 75g glucose tolerance test.
The results of contemporary studies suggest an association between inflammatory periodontal disease and pregnancy and delivery complications. The aim of this study was to assess the association between periodontal disease, clinical periodontal parameters and pregnancy or delivery complications in type 1 diabetes mellitus and non-diabetic pregnant women.
This study will look at the benefit of decreasing food insecurity and improving glucose control among women who either report gestational diabetes (GDM) at 20-28-weeks or have type 2 diabetes (T2DM) with a confirmed pregnancy. Participants will receive a grocery prescription with delivery through Instacart at the start of the study or after 12 weeks or frozen medically tailored meals delivered from Door Dash. Researchers will compare the grocery prescription program, MTM (medically tailored meals), relative to standard of care to see if the impact on these food as medicine programs can improve glucose control over 12-weeks as compared to standard of care.
Perioperative aspiration is particularly concerning in pregnant women due to anatomical changes. To mitigate this risk, pre-anesthetic fasting is recommended, with varying guidelines. Gastric ultrasound can non-invasively assess stomach contents, and mathematical models help estimate stomach volumes using the gastric antral cross-sectional area (CSA). This study aims to compare CSA and estimated gastric volumes through ultrasound in fasting diabetic and non-diabetic pregnant women scheduled for cesarean section, as diabetes may affect stomach fullness. Additionally, it will investigate the relation between demographic and clinical variables and CSA values. This research can shed light on diabetes' influence on aspiration risk in pregnancy and evaluate fasting guidelines, underscoring the significance of gastric ultrasound.
This research is a randomized controlled experimental study to evaluate the effects of PMR application based on HBM in terms of blood sugar and anxiety levels in women with GDM. 34 pregnant women who applied PMR formed the "intervention group" and 34 pregnant women who did not practice PMR formed the "control group". The intervention group received "Progressive Muscle Relaxation Training". It was determined that there was a statistically significant difference between the last follow-up state anxiety score averages, and the intermediate and final follow-up trait anxiety scores between the intervention and control groups. It was determined that PMR provided a decrease in psychological anxiety levels in pregnant women with GDM, and did not have a positive effect on physiologically fasting, 1 hour postprandial and 2 hour postprandial blood glucose levels. PMR training prepared based on HBM is a method that nurses can perform independently to ensure the psychological well-being of pregnant women with GDM.
This study aims to explore: (1) the relationship between lifestyle factors (eating, movement behaviour, sleep and stress) and glycaemic profile, and (2) the feasibility of delivering lifestyle intervention through the proposed mHealth strategy.
Background Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a significant contributor to adverse obstetric and perinatal outcome. There is now clear and unequivocal evidence that adverse pregnancy outcomes are strongly linked to maternal hyperglycemia, both in the peri-conception period and throughout gestation. Although strict glycemic control does improve outcomes, there is still a higher rate of complications in women with DM and poorer perinatal outcomes . The incidence of type 2 diabetes is rising worldwide at a remarkable rate IDF When receiving large doses of insulin, patients complain of pain at the site of injection leading to compliance issues and poor glycemic control. This can be explained as when taking large doses of insulin it leads to alter absorption kinetics because very large doses are delivered to one site, resulting in a failure to reduce postprandial hyperglycemia, but with later hypoglycemia once the insulin is absorbed. This poor glycemic control in mothers with diabetes leads to an increased risk of severe respiratory distress syndrome, low Apgar scores, neonatal hypoglycemia and neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admissions . Infants of mothers with diabetes have high rates of being born large for gestational age (LGA) and macrosomic (>4 or 4.5 kg). Macrosomia is associated with increased rates of perinatal asphyxia, meconium aspiration, hypoglycemia, shoulder dystocia, brachial plexus injury, skeletal injuries, and fetal death . Metformin is among the oldest and most well studied oral anti hyperglycemic agents. Its efficacy has been demonstrated both in the primary prevention of disease and secondary prevention of diabetes-related morbidity and mortality. Because of metformin's proven efficacy, low cost, and minimal side effect profile, it is largely recommended as the first line, initial monotherapy and as part of any combination therapy (included with insulin) for the treatment and prevention of type II diabetes . Metformin produces euglycemia by reducing insulin resistance, improving insulin sensitivity, reducing hepatic gluconeogenesis, and increasing peripheral glucose uptake and utilization.
Glucose control during labor is important for both fetus and mother. During labor and delivery, the goal is to maintain the sugars in the normal range as safely as possible as increased blood sugars 4-6 h prior to delivery leads to increased rates of hypoglycemia in the neonate. Neonatal hypoglycemia is a risk for the offspring of pregnant women with diabetes and occurs when fetal pancreatic hyperplasia is acutely stimulated by a high fetal glucose level derived from maternal hyperglycemia during labor. The maternal blood glucose level during delivery is a predictor of the neonatal blood glucose level. Modern continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems can capture the direction and magnitude of short-lived changes in interstitial glucose levels and are therefore useful for assessing glucose variability more accurately than self-monitoring blood glucose (SMBG) measurements. Indeed, it has already been demonstrated that intermittent blood glucose monitoring underestimates the number of hyperglycemic events, because blood glucose excursions can peak at different times of day. CGMs can help identify glycemic patterns in pregnancy, obtain and maintain glucose targets, and reduce hypoglycemia. Strict glycemic control during labor and delivery may reduce the risk of neonatal hypoglycemia. Two groups have reported on the use of CGM in type 1 diabetics during labor in small pilot studies. Another study looked at effects of maternal glucose levels in insulin-treated women during labor and delivery (2 to 8 h before birth) and resultant neonatal hypoglycemia. The researchers found that maternal hyperglycemia before delivery was correlated with neonatal hypoglycemia. Although more studies are needed, CGM use has promise as a therapy to improve outcomes in pregnancies associated with diabetes. In this study, the investigators plan to explore whether the use of blinded glucose monitoring during labor, delivery, and early postpartum supplementary to normally monitored plasma glucose measurements in women with gestational diabetes (GDM) would provide useful information to improve glycemia during labor in this diabetic population. All CGM data will be masked and therefore not available to participants, clinicians, or researchers at the time of delivery. Participants otherwise will receive standard clinical care. The blinded glucose monitoring data on glycemia throughout labor and post-delivery will be retrospectively assessed.
The aim of this work was to: 1. Evaluate the use of echocardiography in the assessment of hemodynamic stability in newborns. 2. Determine the prevalence of congenital heart diseases or any cardiac abnormalities in infants born to diabetic mother in relation to the glycemic control of their mothers
The aim of this study is to test the feasibility and effectiveness of a 16-week online behavioral weight loss program compared to usual care to promote weight loss in the postpartum period among women with cardiovascular risk factors. The investigators will also be testing different behavioral strategies to recruit postpartum women to the study, including 2 email recruitment strategies and 2 mailer recruitment strategies, informed by behavioral design.
