“…When the average body mass index (BMI, calculated as weight in kilograms divided by the square of height in meters) of the two groups of patients was examined, it was observed that there was a statistically significant difference between the groups ( P < 0.001)—BMI was higher in those diagnosed with GDM. Studies conducted in recent years show that the majority of women who develop GDM, in addition to age and pregestational BMI factors, are either overweight or obese during pregnancy, which supports our study 25–27 . In addition, the variables of patients' gravidity ( P < 0.001), pregnancy history ( P = 0.036), and drug use ( P < 0.001) were also statistically significant.…”

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a disease characterized by carbohydrate intolerance that develops under the influence of placental hormones during pregnancy and is primarily caused by impaired insulin action and β-cell dysfunction. 1 Many studies show that GDM increases the risk of complications in offspring such as neonatal hypoglycemia or macrosomia due to hyperglycemia in pregnancy 2 and the risk of short-term adverse perinatal outcomes and long-term metabolic morbidity for women and their newborns. 3 Another importance of early diagnosis and treatment of GDM is that GDM predisposes the fetus to obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease in later life through reverse intrauterine programming. [4][5][6][7][8][9] The International Association of Diabetes and Pregnancy Study Groups (IADPSG) recommended a new GDM diagnostic criterion in 2010 because of the greater risk of adverse gestational outcomes 10 : boundary blood glucose levels for fasting, 1 and 2 h after oral glucose of 5.1, 10.0, and 8.5 mmol L −1 , respectively,

“…In this research, the trustworthiness of the data was ensured in line with the principles of credibility, reliability, confirmability, transferability, and transparency. [19][20][21] To increase the credibility of the research, a semi-structured interview form was developed in line with the literature, and a conceptual framework was created. More than one data collection method (individual interview and observation notes) was used in this study.…”

“…[13][14][15] In studies conducted in Türkiye, the prevalence of GDM was 16% to 24.8%. [16][17][18] The risk factors for GDM were obesity, [16,19,20] sedentary life, [16,19] age at menarche < 12 years, [20] number of pregnancies of 4 or more, [16] history of macrosomic infant birth, [19] family history of diabetes/ethnicity, [16,19] and high fasting blood glucose. [16,19] In addition, the prevalence of GDM was significantly higher in pregnant women with a history of stillbirth or neonatal death and birth defects in previous births.…”

Gestational Diabetes Mellitus is an important public health problem that often occurs during pregnancy. This study aimed to reveal the experiences of women with gestational diabetes regarding the fear of having diabetes in their babies. A qualitative research method was carried out with a phenomenological approach. The interviews had a semi-structured form and were recorded on an online/face-to-face voice recorder, and thematic content analysis was performed on the MAXQDA22. Following the inclusion criteria, 12 women with gestational diabetes from the 2 hospitals in the study were included, and in this way, the study reached saturation. As a result of the interviews, 4 main themes and one subtheme were obtained from coding. The main themes were “sugar baby,” “risky child,” “raising a fearful baby,” and “problematic gene carrier.” From the main theme of “problematic gene carrier,” the subtheme of “pregnancies with problematic genes” was created. This research sheds light on the problems women with gestational diabetes experience with themselves and their babies, and how they deal with these problems. Women with gestational diabetes try to accept and cope with the diagnosis. This research shows that the women were worried about both themselves and their babies. Illuminating the experiences of women with gestational diabetes is part of an integrative care approach that will help increase quality care and treatment in endocrine clinics. More qualitative studies are needed to learn more about the experiences of women with gestational diabetes in endocrine clinics.

Purpose To evaluate whether there is an association between age at menarche (AAM) and the risk of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Methods A retrospective cohort study was conducted, including 5390 pregnant women who were screened for GDM at Alexandra Hospital in Athens, Greece over a 15-year period (2000–2014). Maternal age, pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI), height, family history of type 2 diabetes mellitus, parity, educational and smoking status, and AAM were recorded. The results were expressed as odds ratios (OR) with a 95% confidence interval (95% CI). Results Pregnant women with GDM experienced earlier menarche compared to normoglycemic women (12.9 ± 1.5 vs 13.1 ± 1.6, p < 0.001, respectively). The OR for a woman with AAM <12 years to develop GDM was 1.08 (95% CI 1.03–1.14), while the OR to be obese was 1.70 (95% CI 1.50–1.90). The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that AAM is a risk factor for GDM. However, that effect was lost after adjusting for BMI. Conclusion Early AAM may be associated with an increased risk of GDM. Therefore, it can be used to identify high-risk women and implement preconception interventions for GDM prevention. Future studies should be conducted to confirm these findings.
