Abstract
Overt diabetes in pregnancy (ODP) was originally included in gestational diabetes mellitus, which was positioned between normal glucose tolerance and pre-existing diabetes mellitus (PDM) in perinatal risk. This retrospective study aimed to clarify the differences between women with ODP and those with PDM. Compared with women with PDM (n = 162), those with ODP (n = 76) had higher HbA1c levels especially in the first trimester (8.2 ± 1.5% vs 7.2 ± 1.5%; P < 0.001). Furthermore, women with ODP had higher pre-pregnancy body mass index (30.8 ± 7.0 vs 28.5 ± 5.6 kg/m2; P = 0.010), and a higher incidence of congenital anomalies (19.7% vs 9.3%; P = 0.035). In conclusion, ODP was not milder than PDM; women with ODP did not only have poorer glycemic control but also had poorer pre-pregnant weight control. Their burdens could be relieved through appropriate management before pregnancy.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Diabetes Investigation is your core diabetes journal from Asia; the official journal of the Asian Association for the Study of Diabetes (AASD). The journal publishes original research, country reports, commentaries, reviews, mini-reviews, case reports, letters, as well as editorials and news. Embracing clinical and experimental research in diabetes and related areas, the Journal of Diabetes Investigation includes aspects of prevention, treatment, as well as molecular aspects and pathophysiology. Translational research focused on the exchange of ideas between clinicians and researchers is also welcome. Journal of Diabetes Investigation is indexed by Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE).
