“…This finding coincides with the range of GDM as per WHO estimates in different population study 11,12,13,14 . However, our finding is much lower than the prevalence rate of GDM observed by Akirprle, 2011 andSwami, 2008.…”

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) during pregnancy cause significant fetal and maternal morbidity. Evaluation of glycemic status throughout the pregnancy especially during second and third trimesters is of paramount importance to detect GDM and IGT cases. This can help taking appropriate control measures and to avoid unwanted feto-maternal outcomes. The focus of this research is to understand variation of glycemic status at different trimester and generate a baseline data for Bangladesh using a case study. A total of 300 pregnant women at different trimester of pregnancy were recruited for the study. Plasma glucose levels both fasting and post prandial were done by standard laboratory procedure in all pregnant women included in this study. Glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1C) level of all pregnant women were also estimated and expressed in percentage (%). Out of 300 pregnant women 57% were in 3rd , 32% were in the 2nd and 11 % were in the 1st trimester. The results found 3%, 6.3% and 4.1% pregnant women in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd trimester respectively had significantly raised level of postprandial blood sugar (PPBS) and HbA1c levels with cumulative prevalence of 4.7%. This finding is consistent with the range of GDM as per World Health Organization (WHO) estimates in different population study. The finding from this research will be beneficial to understand the risk for GDM implement patient screening plan to work effectively in Bangladesh.KYAMC Journal Vol. 7, No.-2, Jan 2017, Page 791-794

“…[68915] In our study, prevalence of GDM was found to be significantly associated with maternal age ≥25 years, gravida ≥3, maternal height ≤150 cm, hypertension, history of macrosomic baby, and family history of diabetes on bivariate analysis; but on multiple logistic regression analysis maternal age ≥25 years, hypertension, history of macrosomic baby, and family history of diabetes were found as independent predictors of GDM.…”

Background and Objectives:Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a global health concern as it affects health status of both mother and fetus. In India, prevalence of GDM varies in different populations and no data is available from rural Haryana. This study was undertaken to determine the prevalence of GDM and risk factors associated with it in rural women of Haryana.Materials and Methods:Nine hundred and thirteen women, with estimated gestational age above 24 weeks from a rural block of Haryana who consented to participate were given a standardized 2-h 75-g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). Pro forma containing general information on demographic characteristics, educational level, gravida, family history of diabetes, and past history of GDM was filled-up. A World Health Organization (WHO) criterion for 2-h 75-g OGTT was used for diagnosing GDM.Results:GDM was diagnosed in 127/913 (13.9%) women with higher mean age as compared to non-GDM women. Majority (78.4%) of the women were housewives, rest engaged in agriculture (9.2%) and labor (5.5%). Women with gravida ≥3 and positive family history of diabetes had significantly higher prevalence of GDM. History of macrosomia (birth weight ≥4 kg) was significantly associated with prevalence of GDM (P = 0.002). On multiple logistic regression analysis, risk factors found to be significantly associated with GDM were maternal age >25 years, gravida >3, history of macrosomic baby, and family history of diabetes.Conclusion:The prevalence of GDM has been found quite high in rural Haryana. Appropriate interventions are required for control and risk factor modifications.

“…Indian Journal of Community Medicine-2008 showed the mean age of study group 25.2±7.6 years. 10 Various authors from India have observed GDM in higher age groups, majority of which were carried out in urban areas. In this study majority of women were in 26-30 years group (62.96%).…”

Background: Gestational diabetes (GDM) represents carbohydrate intolerance first discovered in pregnancy, occurs in 3.8-21% of pregnancies. Postpartum glucose intolerance returns to normal in majority. However, there is high risk of developing impaired glucose tolerance or overt diabetes mellitus later in life. Balanced diet at proper time can help achieving glycemic control. It also helps women with GDM to avoid need for insulin reducing costs of treatment.Methods: Study was done in Dhiraj Hospital in Obstetrics and Gynecology department. Study duration was 1.5 years. It was a prospective study comprising of patients who came with raised blood glucose levels on their 1st visit.Results: Prevalence of GDM (2.87%) is observed to be comparable to various other centres. Highest number of GDM cases was observed in age group of 26-30 years (62.96%). Control of glycemia with diet could be achieved in majority of women (53.85%) at 3 months post-partum as reflected by FBS levels. Incidence of Macrosomia (29.63%) and LSCS (77.78%) could not be lessened by glycemic control with diet in women with GDM.Conclusions: Prevalence of GDM was comparable to that of other studies. Rate of caesarean section was very high and main indications being foetal distress and cephalopelvic disproportion. Maternal and perinatal morbidity increases as duration of GDM increases. Control of glycemia with dietary treatment can help reduce occurrence of complications in mother and baby. It requires proper compliance, absence of which calls for need of insulin in most of patients with uncontrolled glycemia since first.
