Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is glucose intolerance that begins or is first diagnosed during pregnancy. The risks associated with GDM are similar to those with pregestational diabetes. Screening and diagnosis typically involves a 75g oral glucose tolerance test. Management of GDM focuses on achieving metabolic control through diet, exercise, insulin or oral hypoglycemic agents. Fetal surveillance is important during pregnancy and delivery should be monitored closely due to risks of complications. Postpartum care involves glucose monitoring and determining if diabetes persists after delivery.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

3. GESTATIONAL DIABETES MELLITUS
‘any degree of glucose intolerance that either commences or is first
diagnosed in pregnancy’---ACOG
This definition includes women whose glucose intolerance will return back
to normal after delivery
Risks associated with GDM are almost the same as those with
pregestational diabetes
Abnormal maternal glucose regulation occurs in around 3–10% of
pregnancies.
4. GESTATIONAL DIABETES MELLITUS-risk
factors
The reasons for the rise in the prevalence of diabetes are mainly changes
in lifestyle, dietary habits, older age at first conception, polycystic ovarian
disease, obesity, adoption of modern lifestyle, changing eating habits and
reduced physical activity
Family history of diabetes, past history of gestational diabetes and
ethnicity
5. GESTATIONAL DIABETES MELLITUS-in
pregnancy
Pregnancy is a unique physiological condition. It is a diabetogenic
condition due to progressive increase in the insulin resistance. The
diabetogenic effects of pregnancy are
Insulin resistance: l Production of human placental lactogen, cortisol,
estriol and progesterone which all have anti-insulin action Increased
destruction of insulin by kidney and placenta (insulinase) Increased
lipolysis: Mother utilizes fatty acids for her caloric needs sparing glucose
for the fetus
Changes in gluconeogenesis: Alanine and other amino acids which are a
major gluconeogenic source in the mother is preferentially used by the
fetus
6. GESTATIONAL DIABETES MELLITUS
In early pregnancy, there is an increased risk of hypoglycemia due to
increased insulin sensitivity. Also the nausea and vomiting common in the
first trimester contribute to reduced food intake which may cause
hypoglycemia.
The opposite occurs from the mid second and third trimester when the
insulin resistance starts occurring to provide nutrition to the growing fetus.
This explains why gestational diabetes is common after 26 weeks of
pregnancy. It also explains the increased risk of ketoacidosis in pregnant
women with type 1 diabetes.
7. Complications of diabetes
ACUTE COMPLICATIONS
severe hyperglycaemia with ketoacidosis or hyperosmolar coma with a
precipitating factor like infection, dehydration
hypoglycaemia.
CHRONIC COMPLICATIONS -long standing hyperglycaemic state --
endothelial damage leading to small vessel or large vessel disease.
Microvascular angiopathy --Neuropathy ,Retinopathy ,Nephropathy
Macrovascular angiopathy-- Coronary artery
disease,cardiomyopathy,Stroke ,Peripheral vascular disease
Diabetes poses short term as well as long-term effects on the health of
both the mother and the child.

10. SCREENING AND DIAGNOSIS OF GDM
American Diabetic Association (ADA) and the IADPSG recommend the
one-step diagnostic 75g 2 hour OGTT.
Fasting blood glucose: 92mg/dl
Post 1 hour: 180mg/dl
Post 2 hours: 153mg/dl
Carpenter and Coustan criteria (upper limits of normal): F 95, 1 hr 180, 2 hr
155, 3 hr 140 mg/dl
NDDG (National Diabetes Data Group) criteria: F 105, 1 hr 190, 2 hr 165, 3
hr 145 mg/dl.
11. SCREENING AND DIAGNOSIS OF GDM
Seshiah et al10 has debated that the ADA/IADPSG suggestions and cut-
offs have certain disadvantages:
The HAPO study was essentially conducted in the Caucasian population
(except Bangkok, Hong kong). They hypothesize that ethnically Asians
have higher insulin resistance in pregnancy which may result in higher
blood glucose levels
Also, most pregnant women do not come fasting for the antenatal visit.
Thus the dropout rate is very high when she is asked to come back for an
OGTT, especially in developing countries where the number of antenatal
visits are so few.
Glycosylated Hb is not possible in low resource settings because of its
cost and lack of technically qualified staff
12. SCREENING AND DIAGNOSIS OF GDM
Diabetes in Pregnancy Study Group India (DIPSI) recommended a ‘single
step’ diagnostic procedure for all patients (universal screening).
pregnant woman is given 75g glucose load orally, irrespective of her
fasting status or timing of previous meal. GDM is diagnosed if the post 2
hour blood glucose value is >140 mg/dl. The rationale behind this test is
that a normal glucose-tolerant woman would maintain euglycemia despite
the glucose load. While in a GDM patient, the glycemic excursion
exaggerates further.
This single step procedure has been approved by the Ministry of Health,
Govt. of India and also recommended by the WHO.
13. SCREENING AND DIAGNOSIS OF GDM
Advantages of the DIPSI procedure are:
Pregnant women need not be fasting and can be performed at the first
visit itself, and can be best repeated again in the second and third
trimester.
Hardly affects the daily routine of the woman.
Is both a screening as well as a diagnostic procedure
14. DIPSI guideline
DIPSI guideline for diagnosis of GDM, according to 75 g oral glucose
tolerance test (Modified WHO criteria)
Criteria In Pregnancy Outside Pregnancy
2 hr. ≥ 200 mg/dL Diabetes Diabetes
2 hr. ≥ 140 mg/dL GDM IGT
2 hr. ≥ 120 mg/dL DGGT --
15. Protocol for investigation
Testing for GDM is recommended twice during ANC.
The first testing should be done during first antenatal contact as early as
possible in pregnancy. The second testing should be done during 24-28
weeks of pregnancy if the first test is negative Moreover, only one third of
GDM positive women are detected during first trimester.
There should be at least 4 weeks gap between the two tests.
If she presents beyond 28 weeks of pregnancy, only one test is to be done
16. Management
Goal – achieve metabolic control
- good obstetrical and medical outcome
Preconceptional counseling
Diet
Exercise
Insulin/OHA
17. Preconceptional counseling
60% -unplanned
Should start 3-6 months before conception
To allow sufficient time to evaluate maternal health status and maximize
glycaemic control
Achieved by multidisciplinary team
18. Preconceptional councelling-
components
Switch over to insulin
Laboratory evaluation-(HbA1c=<1% upperlimit of normal range) , 24hr
urine-total protein and creatinine clerance,thyroid profile
Special investigations-cardiac and ophthalmological evaluation
Nutritional-folic acid supplementation(400µg/day)
5mg/day if past/family h/o NTD
Contraception
19. Management of GDM- target sugar
levels
The ADA recommends
Fasting -95mg/dl
1 hour post meal - 140mg/dl
2 hour post meal -120mg/dl
The DIPSI recommends
Fasting -90mg/dl
2 hour post meal -120mg/dl
20. Is based on number of calories necessary to maintain 1kg of body weight
BMI<20 -38kcal/kg/d
BMI20-26 - 30kcal/kg/d
BMI27-30 - 25 kcal/kg/d
BMI>30 - 12Kcal/kg/d
21. Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT)
The total calorie requirement ----45% carbohydrate
-----30% protein and
---- 25% fat (mainly unsaturated fats)
22. Management of GDM
All Pregnant women who test positive for GDM for the first time should be
started on Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) and physical exercise for 2
weeks. The woman should walk/exercise for 30 mins a day. After 2 weeks
on MNT and physical exercise, 2 hrs PPBS (post meal) should be done.
Thus, GDM is managed initially with MNT and physical exercise and if it is
not controlled with MNT (lifestyle changes), Metformin or Insulin therapy is
added to the MNT
23. Management of GDM
If 2hr PPBS is ≥120 mg/dL, medical management (metformin or insulin
therapy) to be started as per guidelines.
If 2hr PPBS is <120 mg/dL, repeat test as per high risk pregnancy protocol
i.e. to undertake 8 tests (4 regular tests and 4 additional). It is
recommended to conduct at least one test every month during 2nd and
3rd trimester. More follow-up tests can be done as recommended by the
treating physician.
24. GESTATINAL DIABETES MELLITUS
Glucose level must also be done at 3am to document nocturnal
hypoglycemia which may occur due to excess bed time insulin resulting in
fasting hyperglycemia (Somogyi phenomenon).
In case fasting hyperglycemia occurs without nocturnal hypoglycemia, it is
called Dawn phenomenon, the cause of which is unknown. This requires an
increase in the bed time long acting insulin.
25. Management of GDM
The requirement for insulin increases with gestational age, glycaemic
control, obesity and other factors. Dose of insulin varies from 0.6–
1U/kg/day in divided doses depending on the trimester of pregnancy
Total daily insulin requirement - 2 ⁄3 in the morning & 1 ⁄3 at night such
that
Morning dose - 2 ⁄3 NPH +1 ⁄3 short acting; Predinner dose 1 ⁄2 NPH + 1
⁄2 short acting
26. Fetal Surveillance in Diabetes
First Trimester--First trimester screening including maternal serum PAPP-A
and bHCG with ultrasound evaluation for detecting chromosomal
anomalies in the fetus must be offered between 11 and 14 weeks of
gestation (NICE guidelines).
Second Trimester---anomaly usg, Fetal echocardiography
Third Trimester-- The NICE guidelines suggest 4 weekly monitoring of fetal
growth from 28–36 weeks.
27. Termination of pregnancy
uncomplicated cases of gestational diabetes (not pregestational) may be
allowed to wait for spontaneous labour upto 40 weeks with adequate fetal
surveillance.
ACOG and NICE guidelines suggest that vaginal delivery is not
contraindicated for suspected macrosomia unless the estimated fetal
weight is .4.5kg.
In the Indian population, the average baby weight is less. Balaji et al in
their study on the diagnosis of GDM in Indian women considered birth
weight of 90th centile, which is 3.45kg, as macrosomia.
28. Management During Labour
Consent be taken explaining high risk, need for instrumental delivery or
caesarean, if required.
Whole blood be cross matched and kept available.
Morning dose of insulin is omitted and fasting blood glucose done. Aim is
to keep glucose level between 72 and 126 mg/dl.
If blood glucose level is not maintained then dextroseinsulin neutralizing
drip is started.
50 units of regular insulin in 50ml of normal saline is started. Dose is
adjusted according to glucose level:
90mg/dl– 0.5U/hour l 90-126mg/dl– 1U/hour l 126-180mg/dl– 2U/hour l
180-240mg/dl-3U/hour l .240mg/dl– 4U/hour
29. Management During Labour
It is important to monitor vitals and fluid intake and output, urinary
ketones and blood glucose level 1–2 hourly
Fetal heart must be continuously monitored and partograph be charted in
active labour.
Labour analgesia can be offered.
Care must be taken during second stage. Instrumental delivery must be
undertaken with care.
Both traumatic and atonic postpartum haemorrhage must be watched for.
Baby should be evaluated by the neonatologist
30. Postpartum Management
The need for insulin after delivery reduces
The pregestational diabetics must be continued on insulin for a while and
then can resume their preconceptional medications.
Once the patient resumes full diet by third day after delivery, a fasting and
post lunch glucose level can be done and subsequent therapy decided
The 5th International Conference on GDM also recommends 75g OGTT for
women with GDM in 6–12 weeks postpartum. If it is normal, 3 yearly
assessments should be done. In case of diabetes or impaired tolerance,
both MNT and pharmacotherapy are required depending on degree of
intolerance.
31. CONTRACEPTIVE ADVICE
Barrier methods are ideal.
Progesterone only pills are also safe.
Combined oral contraceptive pills may be best avoided, especially when
diabetes mellitus is of a long duration.
Intrauterine devices may predispose to infection.
A diabetic patient may undergo tubal sterilization with precaution.
Counselling the husband for vasectomy is also a good option.
