Cardiometabolic profile of women with a history of overt diabetes compared to gestational diabetes and normoglycemia in index pregnancy: Results from CHIP-F study. J Diabetes 2024; 16:e13461. [PMID: 37646315 PMCID: PMC11070837 DOI: 10.1111/1753-0407.13461] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2023] [Revised: 07/24/2023] [Accepted: 07/27/2023] [Indexed: 09/01/2023] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE We aimed to evaluate the prevalence of postpartum diabetes among women with a history of overt diabetes in pregnancy (ODiP) and compare with women having a history of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and normoglycemia in pregnancy. METHODS We have an established longitudinal cohort of postpartum women with a history of hyperglycemia (preexisting diabetes [PED] [n = 101], ODiP [n = 92], GDM [n = 643]), and normoglycemia (n = 183) in pregnancy. For this study, we excluded women with PED and invited other eligible women in a fasting state for clinical and biochemical evaluation. RESULTS We evaluated 918 women with a mean (SD) age of 33.6 (5.0) years and at a median (interquartile range) postpartum interval of 31 (20-45) months. Diabetes was diagnosed in 65 (70.7%) women in ODiP compared to 99 (15.4%) in GDM (p < .001) and 4 (2.2%) in normoglycemia group (p < .001). In the ODiP group, the prevalence of diabetes was 47.4% among women tested in the first year postpartum, increasing to 86.8% among women tested at >3 years postpartum. Diabetes was more common when ODiP was diagnosed in the first (27/29, 93.1%) compared to the second trimester of pregnancy (35/57, 61.4%). The adjusted odds ratio for diabetes in ODiP was 14.82 (95% confidence interval, 8.49-25.87; p < .001; reference category: GDM). CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of postpartum diabetes was significantly higher in women with ODiP compared to GDM. Nearly 50% of women with ODiP did not develop diabetes in the first year of follow-up, especially when ODiP was diagnosed after the first trimester of pregnancy and on the basis of a 2-h oral glucose tolerance test value. Such women are amenable to prevention strategies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To explore associations between type and number of abnormal glucose values on antenatal oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) with postpartum diabetes in South Asian women diagnosed with gestational diabetes (GDM) using International Association of the Diabetes and Pregnancy Study Groups criteria. METHODS This post-hoc evaluation of the Lifestyle Intervention IN Gestational Diabetes (LIVING) study, a randomized controlled trial, was conducted among women with GDM in the index pregnancy, across 19 centers in Bangladesh, India, and Sri Lanka. Postpartum diabetes (outcome) was defined on OGTT, using American Diabetes Association (ADA) criteria. RESULTS We report data on 1468 women with GDM, aged 30.9 (5.0) years, and with median (interquartile range) follow-up period of 1.8 (1.4-2.4) years after childbirth following the index pregnancy. We found diabetes in 213 (14.5%) women with an incidence of 8.7 (7.6-10.0)/100 women-years. The lowest incidence rate was 3.8/100 women years, in those with an isolated fasting plasma glucose (FPG) abnormality, and highest was 19.0/100 women years in participants with three abnormal values. The adjusted hazard ratios for two and three abnormal values compared to one abnormal value were 1.73 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.18-2.54; p = .005) and 3.56 (95% CI, 2.46-5.16; p < .001) respectively. The adjusted hazard ratio for the combined (combination of fasting and postglucose load) abnormalities was 2.61 (95% CI, 1.70-4.00; p < .001), compared to isolated abnormal FPG. CONCLUSIONS Risk of diabetes varied significantly depending upon the type and number of abnormal values on antenatal OGTT. These data may inform future precision medicine approaches such as risk prediction models in identifying women at higher risk and may guide future targeted interventions.

Abstract
Gestational diabetes (GDM) is a frequent complication during pregnancy. We aimed to develop a score to predict future insulin dependency in gestational diabetes (GDM). Data from 1611 patients from Charité Berlins gestational diabetes clinic from 2015 to 2022 were utilized. A stepwise backwards regression, including patient characteristics obtained at the initial presentation, was performed. Predictors examined included age, fasting blood glucose level, blood glucose levels one and two hours after oral glucose tolerance test, pre-pregnancy BMI, number of previous pregnancies and births, and fetal sex. The ideal cutoff value between high and low risk for insulin dependency was assessed and the score was internally validated. There were 1249 (77.5%) women diagnosed with dietary GDM and 362 (22.5%) were diagnosed with insulin-dependent GDM. The CHarité AssessmeNt of GEstational Diabetes (CHANGED) Score achieved an area under the curve of 0.77 (95% confidence interval 0.75-0.80; 0.75 in internal validation). The optimal cutoff value was calculated at a score value of 9 (72% sensitivity, 69% specificity). We developed an easily applicable tool to accurately predict insulin dependency in gestational diabetes. The CHANGED Score is routinely available and can potentially improve maternal and fetal outcomes.

Abstract
AIM To study, the incidence and risk factors for postpartum diabetes (DM), in women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) from South Asia (Bangladesh, India and Sri Lanka), followed for nearly two years after delivery. METHODS Women with prior GDM diagnosed using IADPSG criteria were invited at 19 centres across Bangladesh, India and Sri Lanka for an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) following childbirth, and were enrolled in a randomized controlled trial. The glycaemic category (outcome) was defined from an OGTT based on American Diabetes Association criteria. RESULTS Participants (n = 1808) recruited had a mean ± SD age of 31.0 ± 5.0 years. Incident DM was identified, between childbirth and the last follow-up, in 310 (17.1 %) women [incidence 10.75/100 person years], with a median follow-up duration of 1.82 years after childbirth. Higher age, lower education status, higher prior pregnancy count, prior history of GDM, family history of DM, and postpartum overweight/obese status were significantly associated with incident DM. Women in Bangladesh had a higher cumulative incidence of DM [16.49/100 person years] than in Sri Lanka [12.74/100 person years] and India [7.21/100 person years]. CONCLUSIONS A high incidence of DM was found in women with prior GDM in South Asia, with significant variation between countries. Women from Bangladesh had a significantly higher pregnancy count, family history of DM and overweight/obese status, despite having significantly lower age, which could be responsible for their higher rates of DM. Registration of this study: The study was registered with the Clinical Trials Registry of India (CTRI/2017/06/008744), Sri Lanka Clinical Trials Registry (SLCTR/2017/001), and ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT03305939).

Incidence of Prediabetes/Diabetes among Women with Prior Gestational Diabetes and Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease: A Prospective Observational Study. Indian J Endocrinol Metab 2023; 27:319-324. [PMID: 37867978 PMCID: PMC10586555 DOI: 10.4103/ijem.ijem_60_23] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/12/2023] [Revised: 03/12/2023] [Accepted: 03/21/2023] [Indexed: 10/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Background and Objectives This prospective longitudinal study aims to evaluate and compare the incidence of prediabetes/diabetes among women stratified at the baseline postpartum visit according to the prior GDM and NAFLD status. Methods Of the 309 women with baseline postpartum assessment at a median of 16 months following the index delivery, 200 (64.7%) [GDM: 137 (68.5%), normoglycaemia: 63 (31.5%)] were available for the follow-up analysis (performed at median of 54 months following the index delivery) and were participants for this study. We obtained relevant demographic, medical and obstetric details and performed a 75 g OGTT with glucose estimation at 0 and 120 min. NAFLD status was defined by ultrasonography at the baseline visit. Participants were divided into four groups: no NAFLD and no prior GDM (group 1), NAFLD but no prior GDM (group 2), prior GDM but no NAFLD (group 3), and NAFLD and prior GDM (group 4). Results The mean age of study participants (n = 200) was 32.2 ± 5.1 years, and the mean interval between the two visits was 34.8 ± 5.5 months. A total of 74 (37%) women had progression to prediabetes/diabetes [incidence rate of 12.8/100 woman-years]. The incidence rates (per 100 woman-years) were 8.6, 8.9, 13.4 and 15.3 in groups 1, 2, 3 and 4, respectively. The adjusted hazard ratio for incident (new-onset) prediabetes/diabetes in group 4 (reference: group 1) was 1.99 (95% CI 0.80, 4.96, P = 0.140). Among women with baseline NAFLD (irrespective of GDM status), the risk of incident prediabetes/diabetes increased with an increase in the duration of follow-up (3.03-fold higher per year of follow-up, P = 0.029) and was significantly higher in women who were not employed (6.43, 95% CI 1.74, 23.7, P = 0.005) and in women with GDM requiring insulin/metformin during pregnancy (4.46, 95% CI 1.27, 15.64, P = 0.019). Conclusion NAFLD and GDM increased the risk for glycaemic deterioration in young Indian women. Future studies should focus on evaluating the effectiveness of lifestyle and behavioural interventions in such high-risk women.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The burden of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) is very high in south Asia (SA) and southeast Asia (SEA). Thus, there is a need to understand the prevalence and risk factors for developing prediabetes and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) postpartum, in this high-risk population. AIM To conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to estimate the prevalence of prediabetes and T2DM among the women with history of GDM in SA and SEA. METHODS A comprehensive literature search was performed in the following databases: Medline, EMBASE, Web of Knowledge and CINHAL till December 2021. Studies that had reported greater than six weeks of postpartum follow-up were included. The pooled prevalence of diabetes and prediabetes were estimated by random effects meta-analysis model and I2 statistic was used to assess heterogeneity. RESULTS Meta-analysis of 13 studies revealed that the prevalence of prediabetes and T2DM in post-GDM women were 25.9% (95%CI 18.94 to 33.51) and 29.9% (95%CI 17.02 to 44.57) respectively. Women with history of GDM from SA and SEA seem to have higher risk of developing T2DM than women without GDM (RR 13.2, 95%CI 9.52 to 18.29, p<0.001). The subgroup analysis showed a rise in the prevalence of T2DM with increasing duration of follow-up. CONCLUSION The conversion to T2DM and prediabetes is very high among women with history of GDM in SA and SEA. This highlights the need for follow-up of GDM women for early identification of dysglycemia and to plan interventions to prevent/delay the progression to T2DM.

Abstract
South Asian women have a higher risk of type 2 diabetes after gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) than Nordic women; however, the mechanisms behind this difference remain unclear. We investigated insulin sensitivity, β-cell function, and hepatic insulin clearance in 179 South Asian and 108 Nordic women ∼17 months after GDM (mean age 35.3 years, BMI 29.1 kg/m2) by oral glucose tolerance test using deconvolution of C-peptide kinetics. Thirty-one percent of South Asian and 53% of Nordic participants were normoglycemic at the time of measurement. South Asian women had higher areas under the curve (AUCs) for glucose, prehepatic insulin, and peripheral insulin and lower insulin sensitivity, disposition index, and fasting hepatic insulin clearance than Nordic women. In the group with prediabetes or diabetes, South Asian women had similar AUCs for glucose and prehepatic insulin but a higher AUC for peripheral insulin, lower disposition index, and lower fasting hepatic insulin clearance than Nordic women. The waist-to-height ratio mediated ∼25-40% of the ethnic differences in insulin sensitivity in participants with normoglycemia. Overall, our novel data revealed that South Asian women with normoglycemia after GDM showed lower insulin secretion for a given insulin resistance and lower hepatic insulin clearance than Nordic women. South Asian women are at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes after GDM, and preventive efforts should be prioritized.

[PMID: 36191536 DOI: 10.1016/j.dsx.2022.102629] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/04/2022] [Revised: 09/13/2022] [Accepted: 09/15/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Postpartum glucose metabolism disorders are a common problem in women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). They are often underdiagnosed since many patients do not attend the postpartum screening. This study aims to assess predictors of postpartum glucose metabolism disorders and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) after GDM. MATERIAL AND METHODS Retrospective study in women with GMD who underwent postpartum screening for glucose metabolism disorders (n = 2688). Logistic regression was used in the statistical analysis. RESULTS 24.6% of women had postpartum glucose metabolism disorder. In multivariate analysis, pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) 25-30 kg/m2 (OR 1.46, 95%CI 1.05 to 2.02) or BMI ≥30 kg/m2 (OR 2.62, 95%CI 1.72 to 3.96), diagnosis of GDM before 20 weeks of pregnancy (OR 2.33, 95%CI 1.57 to 3.46), fasting plasma glucose after diagnosis of GDM ≥90 mg/dl (OR 2.12, 95%CI 1.50 to 2.98), postprandial glucose ≥100 mg/dl (OR 1.47, 95%CI 1.09 to 2.99), and HbA1c in the third trimester of pregnancy ≥5.3% (2.04, 95%CI, 1.52 to 2.75) were independent predictors for any postpartum glucose metabolism disorder. CONCLUSION postpartum screening for T2DM should be performed in all women with GDM, and it is especially important not to lose follow-up in those with one or more predictive factors.

High prevalence and significant ethnic differences in actionable HbA 1C after gestational diabetes mellitus in women living in Norway. BMC Med 2022; 20:318. [PMID: 36138475 PMCID: PMC9502889 DOI: 10.1186/s12916-022-02515-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/17/2022] [Accepted: 08/03/2022] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The type 2 diabetes risk after gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is twice as high in South Asian compared to European women. Current guidelines differ regarding which test to use as a screening-tool post-GDM. We aimed to identify ethnic differences in the prevalence rates and early predictors for actionable HbA1c (defined as prediabetes and diabetes) short time after GDM. METHODS This cross-sectional study, enrolling South Asian and Nordic women 1-3 years after a diagnosis of GDM, was undertaken at three hospitals in Norway. We performed a clinical and laboratory evaluation including an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). Medical records were used to retrieve data during pregnancy. Prediabetes was classified with HbA1c alone or combined with OGTT glucose measurements according to the WHO, WHO-IEC, and ADA criteria (fasting plasma glucose (FPG) 6.1-6.9 mmol/L, FPG 6.1-6.9 mmol/L and/or HbA1c 42-47 mmol/mol (6.0-6.4%), and FPG 5.6-6.9 mmol/L and/or HbA1c 39-47 mmol/mol (5.7-6.4%)). Ethnic differences in prevalence and predictors of glucose deterioration were assed by χ2 (Pearson) tests and logistic regression models. RESULTS We included 163 South Asian and 108 Nordic women. Actionable HbA1c levels were highly prevalent and more so among South Asian than Nordic women (WHO-IEC-HbA1c: 25.8% vs. 6.5% (p ≤ 0.001), ADA-HbA1c: 58.3% vs. 22.2% (p ≤ 0.001)). Although adding OGTT-data gave higher combined prevalence rates of prediabetes and diabetes (WHO: 65.6% vs. 47.2% (p ≤ 0.05), WHO-IEC: 70.6% vs. 47.2% (p ≤ 0.001), ADA: 87.8% vs. 65.7% (p ≤ 0.001)), the excess risk in the South Asian women was best captured by the HbA1c. Important predictors for glucose deterioration after GDM were: South Asian ethnicity, GDM before the index pregnancy, use of glucose-lowering drugs in pregnancy, higher age, and higher in-pregnancy fasting glucose levels. CONCLUSIONS In women with GDM 1-3 year previously, we found high prevalence and significant ethnic differences in actionable ADA-HbA1c levels, with South Asian ethnicity, GDM before the index pregnancy, and the use of glucose-lowering drugs in pregnancy as the most important risk factors. This study reinforces the importance of annual screening-preferably with HbA1c measurements-to facilitate early intervention after GDM.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a growing public health problem worldwide that threatens both maternal and fetal health. Identifying individuals at high risk for GDM and diabetes after GDM is particularly useful for early intervention and prevention of disease progression. In the last decades, a number of studies have used metabolomics, genomics, and proteomic approaches to investigate associations between biomolecules and GDM progression. These studies clearly demonstrate that various biomarkers reflect pathological changes in GDM. The established markers have potential use as screening and diagnostic tools in GDM and in postpartum diabetes research. In the present review, we summarize recent studies of metabolites, single-nucleotide polymorphisms, microRNAs, and proteins associated with GDM and its transition to postpartum diabetes, with a focus on their predictive value in screening and diagnosis.

Abstract
Background/Purpose To study the clinical characteristics, outcomes, and the incidence of postpartum diabetes in women with overt diabetes and GDM. Methods This prospective cohort observational study was done on women with GDM diagnosed after the first trimester, attending the tertiary care hospitals for 2.3 years. Comparison of clinical variables and maternal and neonatal outcomes were recorded in women with overt diabetes and GDM. The postpartum glycemic status was determined at 1 and 6 months. Results There were 32(17.9%) women with overt diabetes and 146(82.1%) women with GDM. Women with overt diabetes were older, had a higher frequency of pre-pregnancy and maternal obesity, family history of diabetes, previous history of GDM, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), signs of insulin resistance, and need for insulin treatment than women with GDM. The prevalence of gestational hypertension and frequency of spontaneous abortion and large for gestational age (LGA) neonates were significantly higher in women with overt diabetes than in GDM, despite comparable glycemic goals. Postpartum diabetes at 1 and 6 months was significantly higher in women with overt diabetes than in those with GDM. Conclusion It is critical to identify women with overt diabetes in pregnancy because of increased risk of adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes, and rapid progression to postpartum diabetes, despite achieving optimal glycemic goals.

Abstract
AIMS Overt diabetes in pregnancy is defined as hyperglycemia first recognized during pregnancy which meets the diagnostic threshold of diabetes in non-pregnant adults. This case-based narrative review aims to describe this unique condition and discuss the potential implications for its accurate diagnosis and management. METHODS AND RESULTS We conducted a literature search in PubMed for relevant articles published in English language up to January 2022. Women with overt diabetes have a higher risk for adverse pregnancy outcomes and postpartum diabetes, compared to their counterparts with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Such women often need aggressive management, including early and prompt initiation of insulin therapy, and a close follow-up during pregnancy and in the postpartum period. Not all pregnant women with overt diabetes have persistent diabetes in the postpartum period. Early diagnosis, especially during the first trimester, and fasting plasma glucose elevation (≥ 126 mg/dl or 7 mmol/L) at the time of initial diagnosis are predictors of postpartum diabetes. CONCLUSIONS Both GDM and overt diabetes in pregnancy are hyperglycemic conditions first recognized during pregnancy, but the two conditions differ in severity; the latter is a more severe form of hyperglycemia associated with worse maternal and fetal outcomes, and a higher risk of postpartum diabetes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this cross-sectional study was to comprehensively assess bone health in women with prior gestational diabetes mellitus, including bone microarchitecture (TBS), bone mineral density (BMD, DXA) and bone turnover (osteocalcin). DESIGN, PATIENTS AND MEASUREMENTS Study participants underwent a detailed anthropometric, biochemical and hormone assessment, including insulin and osteocalcin measurement. BMD was measured at lumbar spine, femur neck and total hip using DXA and TBS derived from lumbar spine DXA images using TBS iNsight software. RESULTS A total of 240 women (mean age: 33.3 ± 5.0 years; median postpartum duration: 34 [interquartile range 13.0-54.5] months were evaluated. At the current visit, 115 (47.9%) and 36 (15%) women had prediabetes and diabetes, respectively. Women with dysglycemia (diabetes/prediabetes) had a higher BMD at all three sites, compared to those with normoglycemia; however, the difference was not statistically significant. Women with dysglycemia had a significantly lower TBS (1.32 ± 0.09 vs. 1.35 ± 0.09; p = .038). In the fully adjusted model, the odds ratio for association between diabetes and low TBS was 2.92 (95% confidence interval: 1.20, 7.08; p = .018). Women with dysglycemia had significantly lower serum osteocalcin levels (18.6 ± 8.5 ng/ml vs. 21.5 ± 9.7 ng/ml; p = .018). HOMA-IR (r = -.285, p < .001) was negatively correlated, while Matsuda index (r = .274, p < .001) and disposition index (r = .159, p = .016) were positively correlated with serum osteocalcin levels. CONCLUSIONS Bone health is affected early in the natural history of diabetes and is associated with an overall low bone turnover state.

Abstract
AIMS This study analyzed major trends and topics in the field of gestational diabetes mellitus research between 2000 and 2020. METHODS Studies that investigated gestational diabetes mellitus published between 2000 and 2020 were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection database. Data from the identified studies were analyzed using CiteSpace software. RESULTS A total of 22,713 publications were retrieved, among which 21,722 publications were included in this scientometric analysis. Clustering analysis revealed 13 themes across all fields. Physical activity is an emerging trend. Co-word analysis showed that subject high-frequency keywords were: risk factor, obesity, insulin resistance, prevalence, and association. Centrality indices identified the most influential keywords to be: body mass index, risk factors, gestational weight gain, and obesity. Burst keywords revealed that there were six research frontier subtopics: i) prediction of adverse neonatal outcomes in gestational diabetes mellitus; ii) postpartum period research - blood glucose levels and insulin resistance; iii) meta-analysis - understanding the best evidence in pregnancy gestational diabetes mellitus; iv) gene expression profiles and DNA methylation in gestational diabetes mellitus; v) biomarkers for predicting higher birth and children weights; and vi) discussion on diagnostic criteria for gestational diabetes mellitus classification. CONCLUSION The number of studies on gestational diabetes mellitus is increasing. For two decades, the United States has been the global leader in the number of published studies. Studies on gestational diabetes mellitus are mainly from developed countries, with a few of them being from developing countries. An emerging field of research aims at elucidating the association between physical activity and gestational diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Women with recent gestational diabetes (GDM) have increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes. OBJECTIVE To investigate whether a resource-appropriate and context-appropriate lifestyle intervention could prevent glycemic deterioration among women with recent GDM in South Asia. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS This randomized, participant-unblinded controlled trial investigated a 12-month lifestyle intervention vs usual care at 19 urban hospitals in India, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh. Participants included women with recent diagnosis of GDM who did not have type 2 diabetes at an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) 3 to 18 months postpartum. They were enrolled from November 2017 to January 2020, and follow-up ended in January 2021. Data were analyzed from April to July 2021. INTERVENTIONS A 12-month lifestyle intervention focused on diet and physical activity involving group and individual sessions, as well as remote engagement, adapted to local context and resources. This was compared with usual care. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES The primary outcome was worsening category of glycemia based on OGTT using American Diabetes Association criteria: (1) normal glucose tolerance to prediabetes (ie, impaired fasting glucose or impaired glucose tolerance) or type 2 diabetes or (2) prediabetes to type 2 diabetes. The primary analysis consisted of a survival analysis of time to change in glycemic status at or prior to the final patient visit, which occurred at varying times after 12 months for each patient. Secondary outcomes included new-onset type 2 diabetes and change in body weight. RESULTS A total of 1823 women (baseline mean [SD] age, 30.9 [4.9] years and mean [SD] body mass index, 26.6 [4.6]) underwent OGTT at a median (IQR) 6.5 (4.8-8.2) months postpartum. After excluding 160 women (8.8%) with type 2 diabetes, 2 women (0.1%) who met other exclusion criteria, and 49 women (2.7%) who did not consent or were uncontactable, 1612 women were randomized. Subsequently, 11 randomized participants were identified as ineligible and excluded from the primary analysis, leaving 1601 women randomized (800 women randomized to the intervention group and 801 women randomized to usual care). These included 600 women (37.5%) with prediabetes and 1001 women (62.5%) with normoglycemia. Among participants randomized to the intervention, 644 women (80.5%) received all program content, although COVID-19 lockdowns impacted the delivery model (ie, among 644 participants who engaged in all group sessions, 476 women [73.9%] received some or all content through individual engagement, and 315 women [48.9%] received some or all content remotely). After a median (IQR) 14.1 (11.4-20.1) months of follow-up, 1308 participants (81.2%) had primary outcome data. The intervention, compared with usual care, did not reduce worsening glycemic status (204 women [25.5%] vs 217 women [27.1%]; hazard ratio, 0.92; [95% CI, 0.76-1.12]; P = .42) or improve any secondary outcome. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE This study found that a large proportion of women in South Asian urban settings developed dysglycemia soon after a GDM-affected pregnancy and that a lifestyle intervention, modified owing to the COVID-19 pandemic, did not prevent subsequent glycemic deterioration. These findings suggest that alternate or additional approaches are needed, especially among high-risk individuals.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The aim of the study was to evaluate the maternal and neonatal outcomes in women with recurrent gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), compared to women with GDM. METHODS This prospective observational cohort study was done on multiparous women with GDM attending the two tertiary care hospitals. Subjects were divided into two groups, recurrent GDM and GDM. Demographics, clinical variables, and maternal and neonatal outcomes were recorded between the two groups. The postpartum glycemic status was determined at six months. RESULTS There were 36 (20.2%) women with recurrent GDM and 142 (79.8%) women with GDM. Women with recurrent GDM were older (32.4 ± 6.2 versus 29.8 ± 5.6 years), had higher frequency of obesity, and insulin resistance than women with GDM. Women with recurrent GDM had poor glycemia at diagnosis as compared to GDM. Although the glycemic goals achieved were comparable but women with recurrent GDM have increased frequency of gestational hypertension, preeclampsia, and need for cesarean section. Women with recurrent GDM significantly had higher frequency of large for gestational age (LGA) and macrosomic neonates. Postpartum diabetes at six months was significantly higher in women with recurrent GDM. CONCLUSION Women with recurrent GDM are at increased risk of adverse maternal and perinatal outcomes despite achieving optimal glycemic goals and also at the most significant risk of postpartum diabetes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Data for the association between diabetes and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) susceptibility are conflicting. We aimed to evaluate this association using an analytical cross-sectional study design. METHODS Study participants were recruited from endocrine clinics of our hospital and belonged to 3 groups: group 1 (type 1 diabetes mellitus [T1DM]), group 2 (type 2 diabetes mellitus [T2DM]), and group 3 (controls). All participants submitted blood samples for SARS-CoV-2 S1/S2 immunoglobulin G antibody test (LIAISON; DiaSorin) and were interviewed for a history of documented infection. RESULTS We evaluated a total of 643 participants (T1DM, 149; T2DM, 160; control, 334; mean age, 37.9 ± 11.5 years). A total of 324 (50.4%) participants were seropositive for SARS-CoV-2. The seropositivity rate was significantly higher in the T1DM (55.7% vs 44.9%, P = .028) and T2DM (56.9% vs 44.9%, P = .013) groups than in the control group. The antibody levels in seropositive participants with T1DM and T2DM were not significantly different from those in seropositive controls. On multivariable analysis, low education status (odds ratio [OR], 1.41 [95% CI, 1.03-1.94]; P = .035), diabetes (OR, 1.68 [95% CI, 1.20-2.34]; P = .002), and overweight/obesity (OR, 1.52 [95% CI, 1.10-2.10]; P = .012) showed a significant association with SARS-CoV-2 seropositivity. The association between diabetes and SARS-CoV-2 seropositivity was found to further increase in participants with coexisting overweight/obesity (adjusted OR, 2.63 [95% CI, 1.54-4.47]; P < .001). CONCLUSION SARS-CoV-2 seropositivity, assessed before the onset of the national vaccination program, was significantly higher in participants with T1DM and T2DM than in controls. The antibody response did not differ between seropositive participants with and without diabetes. These findings point toward an increased SARS-CoV-2 susceptibility for patients with diabetes, in general, without any differential effect of the diabetes type.

CONTEXT Women with hyperglycemia in pregnancy (HIP) are at increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes (T2D). AIM The present study intended to study the incidence of postpartum diabetes among HIP women and predict its risk factors. SETTINGS AND DESIGN This was a prospective observational study done on 178 women with HIP diagnosed after the first trimester, attending the tertiary care hospitals between December 2018 and March 2020. MATERIALS AND METHODS Demographics, clinical variables, and feto-maternal outcomes were recorded. The postpartum glycemic status was determined using a 75 g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) at 1 and 6 months. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS All analyses were performed with SPSS software (version 21.0). RESULTS The mean age of women with HIP was 30.2 ± 6.1 years, with 38% having a family history of diabetes. Eighty percent of the women delivered full-term babies and 71.3% underwent a cesarean section. Gestational hypertension was present in 21.9% of patients. Macrosomia was present in 4.6% of the babies, hypoglycemia in 6.7%, and spontaneous abortion occurred in 7.7%. Postpartum OGTT at 6 months was completed by 76.4% of participants. The incidence of diabetes and glucose intolerance postpartum was 11.7 and 16.2%, respectively at 6 months. Logistic regression analysis showed that maternal obesity, diagnosis of HIP at an earlier trimester (<24 weeks), need for insulin treatment during pregnancy, signs of insulin resistance and fasting and 2-h plasma glucose >100 (>5.6 mmol/L) and >195 mg/dL (>10.9 mmol/L), respectively, and glycated hemoglobin > 6.5% (>48 mmol/mol) increased the risk of having postpartum diabetes significantly. CONCLUSION The incidence of postpartum glucose intolerance in women with HIP is high. Prospective diabetes evaluation is required and intervention should be considered in women with HIP who have obesity, diagnosis of HIP at an earlier trimester, signs of insulin resistance, and require insulin treatment during pregnancy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION We aimed to evaluate whether SARS-CoV-2 infection is associated with beta cell dysfunction and progression of glycemic and cardiometabolic variables in an established cohort. METHODS Study participants (n = 352, 46.9% men) underwent a detailed evaluation at two time points: (a) pre-COVID (2016-19) and (b) peri-COVID (2020-21). At the second visit, SARS-CoV-2 infection was determined on the basis of a quantitative S1/S2 IgG antibody test (DiaSorin Liaison) and/or a documented history of infection. RESULTS A total of 159 (45.2%) participants were seropositive for SARS-CoV-2, of whom 122 (76.7%) had mild/asymptomatic infection. Progression in body mass index (BMI) category [34 (21.4%) vs. 22 (11.4%), p = 0.011] was seen in a significantly higher proportion of the participants in the infected group compared to the non-infected group. Progression in glycemic and insulin indices [homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), Matsuda index, and oral disposition index (oDI)] categories was also evident in a larger proportion of participants in the infected group; however, the difference was not statistically significant. On logistic regression analysis, the association between SARS-CoV-2 infection and BMI category progression was statistically significant [fully adjusted OR 2.14 (95% CI, 1.18-3.90; p = 0.013)]. CONCLUSION In this longitudinal study, predominant mild/asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection was associated with increase in BMI, but not with worsening of beta cell function and insulin resistance, nor glycemic progression.

Abstract
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is known to be a significant risk factor for the future development of type 2 diabetes. Here, we investigated whether a precise evaluation of β- and α-cell functions helps to identify women at high risk of developing glucose intolerance after GDM. Fifty-six women with GDM underwent a 75-g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) at early (6-12 weeks) postpartum. We measured their concentrations of glucose, insulin, proinsulin and glucagon at fasting and 30, 60 and 120 min. At 1-year post-delivery, we classified the women into a normal glucose tolerance (NGT) group or an impaired glucose tolerance (IGT)/diabetes mellitus (DM) group. Forty-three of the 56 women completed the study. At 1-year post-delivery, 17 women had developed IGT/DM and 26 women showed NGT. In the early-postpartum OGTTs, the IGT/DM group showed a lower insulinogenic index, a less glucagon suppression evaluated by the change from fasting to 30 min (ΔGlucagon 30 min), and a higher glucagon-to-insulin ratio at 30 min compared to the NGT group. There were no significant between-group differences in proinsulin levels or proinsulin-to-insulin ratios. Insulinogenic index <0.6 and ΔGlucagon 30 min >0 pg/mL were identified as predictors for the development of IGT/DM after GDM, independent of age, body mass index, and lactation intensity. These results suggest that the bihormonal disorder of insulin and glucagon causes the postpartum development of glucose intolerance. The measurement of plasma insulin and glucagon during the initial OGTT at early postpartum period can help to make optimal decisions regarding the postpartum management of women with GDM.

Abstract
AIM The study aimed to explore the risk factors for progression to type 2 diabetes in women with gestational diabetes mellitus and the long-term impact of gestational diabetes mellitus on the health of their children. BACKGROUND The occurrence of gestational diabetes mellitus in women is the strongest predictor of the development of type 2 diabetes in the future. DESIGN A non-concurrent cohort and case-control study design and the guidelines for STROBE checklist were used for the study. METHODS We reviewed medical records for the time period from the archives of the hospitals. The short-listed women and their children were invited to participate in a 'Women with gestational diabetes mellitus' research activity from November 2012-February 2016. Blood tests, physiological indicators and demographic questionnaires were applied for data collection. RESULTS A total of 57 women and 57 children participated in the research activity. The risk factors for progression of gestational diabetes mellitus to type 2 diabetes included education level and the 1-h blood glucose level for the antepartum 100-g oral glucose tolerance test and the 2-h blood glucose level for the postpartum 75-g oral glucose tolerance test. However, these risk factors did not have a significant impact on the body mass index and body fat of the women's children. CONCLUSION Healthcare providers should adopt a breadth of health education strategies to remind women with gestational diabetes mellitus to be aware of certain risk factors, and to urge them and their children to return for regular follow-up visits. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE Identification of the risk factors developing type 2 diabetes can make healthcare units incorporate the postpartum follow-up of gestational diabetes mellitus into their standard protocol and case managers continue to follow-up and manage the health of the women and that of their children to reduce adverse health of them.

Abstract
Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1C) and glycated albumin (GA) can be used for blood glucose management of a person with diabetes as a result of their convenience and stability. However, there is no corresponding standard for the application of glycosylated hemoglobin and glycosylated albumin in gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). In this review, we summarize the published research and discuss three aspects of the significance of HBA1C and GA in GDM patients: screening of gestational diabetes mellitus, blood glucose monitoring and the relationship with pregnancy outcome. At present, studies suggest that HBA1C can be used as a screening indicator for pregnant women, but it cannot completely replace OGTT. HbA1C and GA can be used for blood glucose management in patients with GDM to reduce the incidence of GDM complications. However, the application of HBA1C and GA in GDM still needs more research and clinical practice support.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Our aim is to propose an evidence-based strategy for screening postpartum dysglycemia. METHODS This study included adult non-pregnant women who were diagnosed with gestational diabetes (GDM) using International Association of Diabetes in Pregnancy Study Group (IADPSG) criteria during their index pregnancy (2012-2019). Eligible participants underwent a concurrent oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) test. A detailed questionnaire documenting relevant personal and medical history was filled, and the relevant anthropometric parameters were recorded. RESULTS We evaluated data from 377 women at a mean (± SD) age of 32.1 ± 4.6 years and at a median duration of 15 (10-33) months following childbirth. Diabetes was diagnosed in 42 (11.1%) women. Use of a combination cutoff [fasting plasma glucose (FPG) ≥ 6.1 mmol/L or glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) ≥ 6.0% (42 mmol/mol)] avoided OGTT in 80.9% of the study cohort, without missing the diagnosis of diabetes in any study subject. The diagnosis was missed in 2.4% of women with diabetes (and 0.3% of whole cohort) using only the FPG criterion (≥ 5.6 mmol/L) or HbA1c criterion [HbA1c ≥ 5.7% (39 mmol/mol)] alone. These tests avoided the need for an OGTT in 75.3% and 65.5% of women, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The proposed strategies are likely to be both patient- and physician-friendly and have the potential to address several barriers for postpartum screening among women with prior GDM.

Abstract
AIM We studied women between 8 and 20 weeks of gestation with the aim of evaluating and comparing those having normoglycemia and GDM according to WHO 2013 criteria. METHODS In this cross-sectional study (2017-2019), eligible pregnant women underwent a 75-g OGTT, followed by placement of a CGMS. RESULTS Women (n = 96, 58 with normoglycemia and 38 with GDM) were enrolled at 14.0 ± 3.2 weeks of gestation. Mean preprandial, 1-h and 2-h postprandial and peak glucose values were significantly higher in women with GDM. Peak glucose value was achieved 60.0 ± 12.3 and 64.3 ± 11.6 min after meal in the normoglycemia and GDM group, respectively. 24-h mean glucose (5.8 ± 0.6 vs. 5.3 ± 0.4 mmol/L), mean daytime glucose (6.0 ± 0.6 vs. 5.5 ± 0.4 mmol/L) and mean nocturnal glucose (5.4 ± 0.7 vs. 5.0 0 ± 0.5 mmol/L) were significantly higher in women with GDM. Total time spent in range was significantly lower in the GDM group compared to the normoglycemia group (92.1 vs. 98.2%). CONCLUSIONS This study highlights differences in glycemic patterns between women with normoglycemia and GDM in the context of a South Asian population where burden of GDM is high but good quality data in early pregnancy are limited.

Abstract
Aims/Introduction This study aims to evaluate the prevalence of and factors associated with non‐alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in Indian women with prior gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) diagnosed using International Association of Diabetes and Pregnancy Study Groups (IADPSG) criteria. Materials and Methods This cross‐sectional study (2018–2019) enrolled women with and without prior GDM. Study participants underwent detailed assessments, including relevant medical, obstetric and demographic details; 75‐g oral glucose tolerance test with glucose and insulin estimation at 0, 30 and 120 min; and other relevant biochemical and anthropometric measurements. NAFLD status was defined by ultrasonography. Results We evaluated a total of 309 women (201 and 108 with and without prior GDM, respectively) at a mean age of 31.9 ± 5.0 years and median of 16 months (interquartile range 9–38 months) following the index delivery. The prevalence of NAFLD was significantly higher in women with prior GDM (62.7% vs 50.0%, P = 0.038; grade 2 and 3 disease, 13.9% vs 6.5%). On logistic regression analysis (fully adjusted model), the odds of NAFLD were 2.11‐fold higher in women with prior GDM (95% confidence interval 1.16–3.85, P = 0.014). Overweight/obesity, metabolic syndrome, prediabetes and homeostasis model of assessment of insulin resistance (a measure of insulin resistance) were positively associated with NAFLD, whereas the Matsuda index (a measure of insulin sensitivity) showed a negative association with NAFLD. Conclusions The prevalence of NAFLD is high in women with prior GDM. Such women also have a high burden of cardiometabolic risk factors. Future studies should evaluate the intermediate and long‐term hepatic and cardiovascular risk, and the impact of lifestyle interventions in reducing morbidity in such women.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a major public health problem, affecting about one in every six pregnancies globally. The guidelines provided by the American Diabetes Association (ADA) on diagnosis and management of hyperglycemia in pregnancy are widely followed. We aim to provide a critical appraisal of the recently published ADA guidance document, highlighting its strength and limitations with regard to the diagnosis of GDM. METHODS AND RESULTS We reviewed the recent ADA recommendations for the diagnosis and management of hyperglycemia in pregnancy. A periodic update in keeping with the emerging evidence, an inclusive diagnostic approach which increases generalizability, and a clear proposed approach for prenatal testing and postpartum follow-up are strengths of the ADA guidance document. On the other hand, its limitations are a lack of clarity on the applicability of diagnosis of GDM during early pregnancy, use of scientifically inaccurate terms such as "prediabetes" in the context of pregnancy and "overt diabetes prior to gestation" in the definition of GDM, and inconsistent use of terminology between successive publications. Certain issues which merit attention in future publications include a need for uniform global definition of GDM, demarcation of overt diabetes in pregnancy as a distinct entity, clarity on the diagnosis of GDM during early pregnancy, and clear delineation of timelines and appropriate testing strategy for the first prenatal visit. CONCLUSIONS This article provides a critical appraisal of the recently published ADA guidance document with regard to the diagnosis of GDM. We also share our perspective on issues warranting attention in the future publications. Experts from various professional organizations should aim for a consensus document which can resolve existing controversies in this field, and help clinicians and researchers achieve better health for women in their care.

[PMID: 32636660 PMCID: PMC7334007 DOI: 10.2147/dmso.s252542] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/05/2020] [Accepted: 06/08/2020] [Indexed: 12/25/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to describe the status of abnormal glucose tolerance with a longer duration after delivery among women with prior gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in a rural community of China, and to explore the influence of socio-demographic factors, GDM-related factors (family history of diabetes, number of children, receipt of treatment for GDM), psychosocial factors (perceived stress, self-efficacy, and social support), lifestyle behaviors (physical activity, sedentary activity, fruit or vegetables intake), and obesity indicators (body mass index and waist circumferences) on abnormal glucose tolerance. PATIENTS AND METHODS A cross-sectional descriptive survey was conducted among women with prior GDM in two county-level hospitals in Western and Eastern Hunan, China from November 2017 to June 2018. Under the guidance of life course theory, data were collected using self-report measures of socio-demographic and GDM-related factors as well as psychosocial factors (perceived stress, self-efficacy, and social support) and postpartum lifestyle behaviors (physical activity, sedentary activity, and fruit and vegetable intake). Additionally, a 75-g oral glucose tolerance test was conducted, and weight, height, and waist circumference were measured on site. RESULTS A total of 425 women were included in this study, with an average postpartum duration of 18.04 months. Of these women, 20.9% had abnormal glucose tolerance (AGT). A multivariate analysis indicated that the proportion of abnormal glucose tolerance increased with increased age (OR = 2.13; 1.27-3.57, p=0.004), ethnic minority (OR: 1.62, 95% CI: 0.96-2.72, p=0.069), lower educational levels (OR:0.58, 95% CI: 0.33-1.02, p=0.057), receipt of treatment for GDM during pregnancy (OR =1.93; 1.11-3.37, p=0.020) and larger waist circumference (OR = 1.08; 1.05-1.12, p=0.000). CONCLUSION More than one-fifth of the women with GDM in rural China had progression to AGT. More postpartum programs aimed at reducing waist circumference are warranted to delay or prevent progression to type 2 diabetes mellitus for rural Chinese women with prior GDM.

Do obesity and low levels of physical activity increase the risk for developing type 2 diabetes mellitus among women with prior gestational diabetes in rural China? Res Nurs Health 2020; 43:387-395. [PMID: 32515856 DOI: 10.1002/nur.22043] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/24/2019] [Revised: 03/22/2020] [Accepted: 05/19/2020] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
Moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity (MVPA) and obesity play important roles in the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) among women with prior gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Yet, how MVPA affects the risk of developing T2DM among women with prior GDM across the different categories of obesity indicators is unclear. This study aimed to describe the levels of postpartum abnormal glucose tolerance (AGT), obesity indicators (body mass index [BMI] and waist circumference [WC]), and MVPA and to explore the independent effect and joint effect of MVPA and obesity indicators (BMI and WC) on the risk for developing AGT among women with prior GDM in rural China. A total of 425 women with prior GDM were recruited from two county-level hospitals in Western and Eastern Hunan, China. Data were collected with self-reported measurements on sociodemographics and clinical factors as well as postpartum weight-related behaviors (physical activity and dietary intake). The 75-g oral glucose tolerance test, weight, height, and WC were measured on site. Binary logistic regression models and multiplitive interaction models were used to explore the independent and joint associations of BMI and MVPA as well as WC and MVPA on AGT, respectively. One-fifth (20.9%) of the sample women had AGT. The obesity indicators were significantly associated with an increased risk of postpartum AGT, but MVPA was not. In joint effect analyses, larger WC and insufficient MVPA were not significantly associated with increased risk of AGT compared with normal WC and sufficient MVPA (mutually adjusted odds ratio [OR], 1.43; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.46-4.43; p > .05). In joint effect analyses of MVPA and BMI, the mutually adjusted OR for developing AGT in women who were obese and had insufficient MVPA was 4.49 (95% CI, 1.35-14.92; p < .05) compared with normal weight and sufficient MVPA. Adequate weight management and increased MVPA are warranted for Chinese women with prior GDM to prevent T2DM.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the burden and association of cardiometabolic risk factors in the spouses of women with and without hyperglycaemia in pregnancy. METHODS Women with (n = 204) and without (n = 197) hyperglycaemia in pregnancy, along with their spouses, participated in this cross-sectional study. The hyperglycaemia in pregnancy group included women with gestational diabetes and diabetes in pregnancy. A detailed questionnaire was completed for all participants (men and women), documenting relevant personal and medical history, along with biochemical investigations (men). RESULTS A total of 401 couples were evaluated at the time point during the pregnancy of 24.7 ± 5.2 gestational weeks (mean ± sd). Dysglycaemia (prediabetes or diabetes), overweight/obesity (BMI ≥25 kg/m2 ) and metabolic syndrome were detected in 120 (58.9%), 123 (60.3%) and 98 spouses (48.3%) of women with hyperglycaemia in pregnancy, respectively. In the fully adjusted model, an increased risk of dysglycaemia [odds ratio 1.43 (95% CI 0.95-2.17); P = 0.088], overweight/obesity [odds ratio 1.49 (95% CI 0.98-2.27); P = 0.064] and metabolic syndrome [odds ratio 2.00 (95% CI 1.30-3.07); P = 0.001] was seen in the spouses of women with hyperglycaemia in pregnancy. The prevalence of these metabolic conditions was higher in spouses of women with diabetes in pregnancy compared to spouses of women with gestational diabetes mellitus. CONCLUSIONS A high burden of cardiometabolic risk factors was observed in the spouses of women with hyperglycaemia in pregnancy. The opportunity provided by pregnancy could be used by the healthcare system not only to improve the health of the woman and her offspring, but also her spouse.

Abstract
Inositol, an emerging novel therapy for the treatment of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), is a cyclic polyol that has insulin-like effects and plays an important role in glucose homeostasis. The conventional treatment of GDM with insulin and oral antihyperglycemic drugs usually comes with side effects, paving the way for and shedding spotlight on clinical trials involving inositol. This review analyzed a host of recent trials that involved inositol supplementation for preventing GDM and their positive outcomes in reducing the rate of GDM among obese and overweight pregnant women, as well as women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) or a family history of type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Concordance of glycaemic and cardiometabolic traits between Indian women with history of gestational diabetes mellitus and their spouses: an opportunity to target the household. Diabetologia 2019; 62:1357-1365. [PMID: 31104096 DOI: 10.1007/s00125-019-4903-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2019] [Accepted: 04/23/2019] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS The aim of this study was to investigate the concordance of dysglycaemia (prediabetes or diabetes) and cardiometabolic traits between women with a history of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and their spouses. METHODS Using hospital medical records, women with GDM (diagnosed between 2012 and 2016) and their spouses were invited to participate in the study and to attend a scheduled hospital visit in a fasting state. Sociodemographic, anthropometric and medical data were collected, and a 75 g OGTT with serum insulin estimation, HbA1c measurement and fasting lipid profile were performed at the visit. Prediabetes and diabetes were defined using ADA criteria and the metabolic syndrome was defined using IDF criteria. RESULTS A total of 214 couples participated in the study. Women were tested at a mean ± SD age of 32.4 ± 4.6 years and median (quartile [q]25-q75) of 19.5 (11-44) months following the index delivery, while men were tested at a mean ± SD age of 36.4 ± 5.4 years. A total of 72 (33.6%) couples showed concordance for dysglycaemia, while 99 (46.3%) and 51 (23.8%) couples were concordant for overweight/obesity and the metabolic syndrome, respectively. A total of 146 (68.2%) couples showed concordance for any of the above three factors. The presence of dysglycaemia in one partner was associated with an increased risk of dysglycaemia in the other partner (OR 1.80 [95% CI 1.04, 3.11]). Similarly, being overweight/obese (OR 2.19 [95% CI 1.22, 3.93]) and presence of the metabolic syndrome (OR 2.01 [95% CI 1.16, 3.50]) in one partner was associated with an increased risk of these conditions in the other partner. Both women and men were more likely to have dysglycaemia if they had a partner with dysglycaemia. Women with a partner with dysglycaemia had a significantly higher BMI, waist circumference and diastolic BP, and a significantly higher probability of low HDL-cholesterol (<1.29 mmol/l) and the metabolic syndrome compared with women with a normoglycaemic partner. No such differences were observed for men with or without a partner with dysglycaemia. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION The high degree of spousal concordance found in this study suggests social clustering of glycaemic and cardiometabolic traits among biologically unrelated individuals. This provides us with an opportunity to target the behavioural interventions at the level of the 'married couple', which may be a novel and cost-effective method of combating the current diabetes epidemic.

Abstract
AIM This study aims to determine whether a resource- and culturally appropriate lifestyle intervention programme in South Asian countries, provided to women with gestational diabetes (GDM) after childbirth, will reduce the incidence of worsening of glycaemic status in a manner that is affordable, acceptable and scalable. METHODS Women with GDM (diagnosed by oral glucose tolerance test using the International Association of the Diabetes and Pregnancy Study Groups criteria) will be recruited from 16 hospitals in India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. Participants will undergo a repeat oral glucose tolerance test at 6 ± 3 months postpartum and those without Type 2 diabetes, a total sample size of 1414, will be randomly allocated to the intervention or usual care. The intervention will consist of four group sessions, 84 SMS or voice messages and review phone calls over the first year. Participants requiring intensification of the intervention will receive two additional individual sessions over the latter half of the first year. Median follow-up will be 2 years. The primary outcome is the proportion of women with a change in glycaemic category, using the American Diabetes Association criteria: (i) normal glucose tolerance to impaired fasting glucose, or impaired glucose tolerance, or Type 2 diabetes; or (ii) impaired fasting glucose or impaired glucose tolerance to Type 2 diabetes. Process evaluation will explore barriers and facilitators of implementation of the intervention in each local context, while trial-based and modelled economic evaluations will assess cost-effectiveness. DISCUSSION The study will generate important new evidence about a potential strategy to address the long-term sequelae of GDM, a major and growing problem among women in South Asia.
