It is seen in most of the gestational diabetes cases that there is an incidence of neonatal hypoglycemia. It is majorly because most of the gestational diabetes is managed by insulin treatment as well as rigorous diet control practices. It results in a declined level of blood glucose in many of the neonates resulting in neonatal hypoglycemia. As the case of chronic use of insulin, it results in a major complication in neonates. It is mostly seen in type I diabetes or gestational diabetes (GDM).
Why is neonatal hypoglycemia a frequent complication of gestational diabetes (GDM)?
Pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) are at risk for long term weight gain and subsequent development of type II diabetes. A pilot weight loss clinical trial was conducted where women with GDM were randomized to either an active intervention using a web-based delivery or control intervention. Women were randomized at 6 weeks postpartum and then were seen at follow up visits at 6 months and 12 months postpartum. At 12 months postpartum, women in the active group lost...
4.4 Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a condition that causes serious adverse perinatal outcomes in pregnancy. It is estimated that approximately 11.7% of women have GDM during pregnancy. A clinic trial was initiated to test a screening method for GDM among 37 pregnant women who had GDM and 33 pregnant women without GDM. The results are listed below Test (+) 36 Test (-) Total 37 Women with GDM Women without GDM 31 a) What is the sensitivity? b) What is...
