Urinary excretion of inositol phosphoglycan P‐type in gestational diabetes mellitus

Abstract

Increased P-IPG urinary excretion occurs in GDM and positively correlates with blood glucose levels. P-IPG may play a role in maternal glycaemic control and, possibly, fetal growth in GDM.

myo-Inositol Supplementation and Onset of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus in Pregnant Women With a Family History of Type 2 Diabetes

“…Recent reports have supported the involvement of inositol in the mechanisms of glycemic control; in particular, Scioscia et al (11) showed an increased urinary excretion of inositolphosphoglycan in women affected by GDM, which was positively correlated with blood glucose levels. The authors concluded that inositolphosphoglycan may play a role not only in glycemic control but also in the fetal growth of GDM women.…”

The effect of myoinositol supplementation on insulin resistance in patients with gestational diabetes

“…Inositol phosphoglycan is one of the intracellular mediators of the insulin signal and is correlated with insulin sensitivity in Type 2 diabetes [2,3]. Recently, increased urinary excretion of inositol phosphoglycan has been directly related to blood glucose levels in gestational diabetes [4]. Similarly, increased urinary excretion has been reported [5] for polycystic ovary syndrome, which is a medical condition characterized by insulin resistance, and which has been successfully treated with myoinositol and folic acid [6].…”

Effect of dietary approaches to stop hypertension diet plan on pregnancy outcome patients with gestational diabetes mellitus

“…According to the discussion from relevant literature, in the calculation of the total calories needed by pregnant women each day, the standard weight of pregnant women must be taken as basic weight, and then pregnant women need the total calories 167 KJ multiplied by weight (Moss et al, 2007). If the weight of a pregnant woman is within the scope of normal weight, which is 80% to 120% of the normal standard weight, this pregnant woman needs totally 126 KJ calories per kilogram of body weight each day (Scioscia et al, 2007). If a pregnant woman is outside the scope of high weight, which is more than 120% of the standard weight, then she needs totally 100 KJ calories per kilogram of body weight each day, in which carbohydrates account for roughly 30% to 40% of total calories (Gunther et al, 2009).…”
