2. Incidence
• 3 to 5 % of pregnant patients show glucose
intolerance
• 90% of these women have gestational
diabetes
• A small group has diabetes before pregnancy
• Genetic and/or metabolic predisposition
• Women with gestational diabetes are those
who are incapable of compensating for the
diabetogenic effects of pregnancy
• 50% of women with GDM will develop type 2
diabetes in later life
3. Diabetes complicating
pregnancy
• A patient with known
diabetes becomes
pregnant
Gestational diabetes
• Disease onset or first
recognition occurs
during the present
pregnancy usually
after 20th week
4. CARBOHYDRATE METABOLISM
DURING PREGNANY
• Normal fasting blood sugar level in
pregnancy is 65 +or -9 mg/dl
• Postprandial elevations normally never
exceed 140mg /dl
• During first trimester and early second
trimester there is an increased insulin
sensitivity
• A progressive increase in insulin
resistance occurs during gestation as
pregnancy progresses

Glucose intolerance that develop in women with GDM could
be the result of their inability to increase insulin secretion
enough to overcome insulin resistance that occurs even in
non diabetic pregnancy

8. GDM represents detection of
chronic β cell dysfunction, rather
than development of relative insulin
deficiency as insulin resistance
increases during pregnancy

DIAGNOSTIC TEST SCHEDULE
Diagnostic Test
(Trimesters)
Weeks of Pregnancy
I
Ideally 12-16 weeks or at the
time of first visit for AN checkup
II 24-28 weeks
III 32-34 weeks
No screening test, direct diagnostic test with 75g oral
glucose and measure 2h PG
Operational guidelines for Diagnosis of
GDM in the Community
10. Screening /Glucose challenge test
• Universal
• 24 to 28 weeks
• 75 gms of glucose without regard to time of day or last
meal
• Whole blood glucose> or =140mg% is an indication of
GTT

12. Risk factors requiring early
screening
• Obesity
• Positive family history/diabetic twins
• History of stillbirth
• History of delivery of a large infant
• Glycosuria
• History of unexplained neonatal death
• History of congenital anomaly
• History of prematurity
13. History of preeclampsia as a multipara
Polyhydramnios
History of traumatic delivery with associated neurological disorder
in the infant
Poor reproductive history(>3 spontaneous abortions in the first or
second trimester)
Chronic hypertension
Recurrent severe monaliasis
Recurrent urinary tract infections
Age > 30 years
History of diabetes in previous pregnancy
14. Effects of diabetes on pregnancy
1. During pregnancy
• Abortion
• Infection
• Pregnancy induced hypertension
• Hydramnios
15. 2. During labour
Increased incidence of prolonged labour
Big baby(fetal macrosomia)
Shoulder dystocia
Perineal injuries
PPH
Operative interference
3. During puerperium
• Puerperial sepsis
• Failing lactation

18. • GDM is diagnosed when any two values are met or
elevated
• GTT returns to normal within 6 weeks of delivery
19. • Clinical diabetes :
• Abnormal response to GTT with the symptoms and
complications
• Asymptomatic (subclinical , chemical): Abnormal GTT
without any symptoms
• Gestational diabetes(latent diabetes): GTT becomes
abnormal in pregnancy
20. Renal glycosuria
• Sugar in urine of pregnant women is common
• 3 to 30%
• Lactose/glucose
• Indicates screening for blood sugar
21. Management
Preconception counseling
Careful and close antenatal supervision
Control of diabetes
Optimum timing for delivery , optimum mode of delivery
Arrangements for the care of newborn
• Exercise
• Aim of Management : Fasting blood sugar level should
be less than 95mg%
• Options
Diet
Exercise
Insulin
22. Preconceptional counseling
Monthly visit from conception till 20th week
biweekly till 30 weeks
Weekly till 34 weeks
Admission at 34 weeks to formulate the obstetrical
management
23. “No single period In
human development
provides a greater
potential
(than pregnancy)
for long – range
‘pay – off’ via a
relatively short –
range Period of
enlightened
metabolic
manipulation”
Freinkel – Excerpta Medica 1979
24. Diet
• 30 to 35 kcal/kg/day
• 2000 to 2500Kcal/day for normal weight
• 1200 to 1800Kcal/day for overweight
• Carbohydrate – 40 to 50 % of calorie intake
• Proteins- 10 to 15 %
Fats – 30 to 40 %Glycaemic index
Carbohydrate counting
SOLUBLE FIBERS- Fruits and vegetable and legumes , reduces
glucose absorption from intestine slowing the rise in postprandial
blood sugar levels and decreasing the requirements of insulin
INSOLUBLE FIBERS-Increases fecal bulk and accelerates GIT transit
time but has little effect on blood glucose
Eg mucopolysacharides
25. Indication of insulin
• FBS > 105mg%
• 2hrs PPBS > 130mg%
even after diet control
Dose is titrated according to blood sugar values in small
steps
Oral hypoglycaemic agents may cross the placenta and
have teratogenic effects

28. Obstetric management
• Good glycemic control and patients not on insulin------
wait for spontaneous onset of labour
• Elective induction or caesarean in patients requiring
insulin or with complications at 37 completed weeks.
• Patient is admitted at 34-36 wks for monitoring the blood
glucose levels
• Induced labour at 37 completed weeks.
Multipara with a good obstetrical history
Primigravida without any associated complications
Previous congenital malformation of the baby
29. Follow - up
• 50% would develop overt diabetes over a follow-up
period of 5-20 years
• Recurrence risk in subsequent pregnancy >50%
30. Risk factors requiring early
screening
