“…The rise in GDM along with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and obesity worldwide has become of particular concern (5). In different populations and geographical regions, the risk of developing T2D is 7.4 higher among women with GDM in comparison with women without GDM, both postpartum and later in life (6)(7)(8). In addition, young women with GDM are at greater risk of developing cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and coronary artery diseases (CAD), much attributable to the development of T2D (9,10).…”

“…Moreover, there is reportedly increased risk of preeclampsia, asymptomatic bacteriuria, pyelonephritis and cesarean delivery among women with GDM (11,12). Besides the adverse effects of GDM on the mother both in the short and long-terms, GDM was linked with many fetal and neonatal complications including macrosomia (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16), shoulder dystocia (17), neonatal hypoglycemia (18) and congenital malformation (19)(20)(21).…”

Background: During the past 20 years, the prevalence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) has increased by ∼10%-100% in several race/ethnicity groups. There is an association between ambient air pollution (AAP) and GDM. This study aimed to summarize the evidence about the association between AAP and GDM. Methods: PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science and Cochrane Library were searched from inception till Oct 2017. Studies about the association between ambient air pollutants levels and GDM were included. Pooled effect estimates and their 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated using R. Results: Eight studies met the inclusion criteria. The odds of developing GDM upon exposure to CO (per 1 ppm), NO (per 1 ppb), NO2 (per 10 µg/m3), NOx (per 1 ppb), O3 (per 10 ppb), SO2 (per 10 ppb), PM10 (per 10 µg/m3) and PM2.5 (per 10 µg/m3) were 1.47 (95% CI 0.88-2.06), 1.04 (95% CI 1.03-1.06), 1 (95% CI 0.93-1.08), 1.02 (95% CI 1-1.04), 1.05 (95% CI 0.94-1.16), 1.39 (95% CI 1.04-1.73), 0.97 (95% CI 0.94-0.99) and 1.12 (95% CI 0.93-1.31), respectively. Conclusion: The current literature showed evidence for an association between AAP and GDM. However, further well-designed studies are needed.

The purpose of this study was to investigate blood glucose changes, as measured by a continuous glucose monitoring system, that occur in women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) following an acute bout of moderate-intensity walking after consuming a high-carbohydrate/low-fat meal. This study found that moderate-intensity walking induced greater postprandial glucose control compared with sedentary activity and it appears that moderate-intensity activity may be used to reduce postprandial glucose levels in women with GDM.

“…Hypertension is one of the most common medical problems women encounter during pregnancy, and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) remain leading causes of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality (Magee, Pels, Helewa, Rey, & von Dadelszen, ; Mammaro et al, ). Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is one of the most common pregnancy complications with rising prevalence and has both short‐ and long‐term adverse impact on both women and their offspring (Chen, Mayo, Chatry, & Hu, ). As stress has been shown to be linked with both hypertension (Sparrenberger et al, ) and Type 2 diabetes (T2D) mellitus (Cosgrove, Sargeant, Caleyachetty, & Griffin, ; Kelly & Ismail, ), we can hypothesize that there might a link between stressful events during pregnancy and GDM as well as a link between stressful events during pregnancy and HDP.…”

The objective of this study was to examine the association of life events stressors with risk of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) by using the multilevel sample from the 2007 Los Angeles Mommy and Baby (LAMB) survey. Four multilevel logistic regression models were applied while accounting for the multilevel design of the LAMB study. The following demographic variables were used as covariates: maternal age, race/ethnicity, maternal educational attainment, household income level in the previous year, physical exercise, and prepregnancy body weight status. The scale for total number of stressors was positively associated with GDM in Model 1, but the association did not reach the significance threshold of 0.05. In Model 2 where four specific domains of stressors (financial, traumatic, spousal, and emotional stressors) were used as the key exposure variables, the number of financial stressors during pregnancy was significantly associated with a higher risk of GDM. The scale for total number of stressors was associated with HDP in Model 3. Experience of financial stressors during pregnancy was significantly associated with a higher risk of HDP in Model 4. In conclusion, exposure to higher number of financial stressors was associated with an elevated risk of GDM and HDP.
