Huret P, Lopes P, Dardari R, Penfornis A, Thomas C, Dardari D. Rapid correction of hyperglycemia: A necessity but at what price? A brief report of a patient living with type 1 diabetes. World J Diabetes 2023; 14:1710-1716. [DOI: 10.4239/wjd.v14.i11.1710] [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: 07/09/2023] [Revised: 08/31/2023] [Accepted: 10/16/2023] [Indexed: 11/14/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The correction and control of chronic hyperglycemia are the management goals of patients living with diabetes. Chronic hyperglycemia is the main factor inducing diabetes-related complications. However, in certain situations, the rapid and intense correction of chronic hyperglycemia can paradoxically favor the onset of microvascular complications.
CASE SUMMARY In this case report, we describe the case of a 25-year-old woman living with type 1 diabetes since the age of 9 years. Her diabetes was chronic and unstable but without complications. During an unplanned pregnancy, her diabetes was intensely managed with the rapid correction of her hyperglycemia. However, over the following 2 years, she developed numerous degenerative microvascular complications: Charcot neuroarthropathy with multiple joint involvement, severe proliferative diabetic retinopathy, gastroparesis, bladder voiding disorders, and end-stage renal failure requiring hemodialysis.
CONCLUSION In the literature to date, the occurrence of multiple microvascular complications following the rapid correction of chronic hyperglycemia has been rarely described in the same individual.

Soliman H, Schalla MA, Coffin B, Gourcerol G. Gastric electrical stimulation is safe during pregnancy and delivery: Results from a French cohort. Neurogastroenterol Motil 2023; 35:e14657.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastric electrical stimulation (GES) is an effective therapy in medically refractory chronic nausea and vomiting. GES is assumed to be a contraindication for pregnancy. We examined the safety of GES during pregnancy and its clinical impact on vomiting symptoms. METHODS A retrospective study was performed in two tertiary centers including all female patients of childbearing age implanted with GES. Patients without pregnancy while on GES were asked about their desire and concerns about pregnancy. Patients who were pregnant while on GES therapy were interviewed about the course of the pregnancy and labor, as well as the health of the children. KEY RESULTS Among 91 patients implanted at childbearing age, 54 patients without pregnancy answered the questionnaire. Nine patients (16.7%) reported a desire for pregnancy and five patients (7.4%) reported worries about the safety of GES during pregnancy. Sixteen pregnancies were reported in 10 patients. All pregnancies ended in a live birth with premature birth in 12 pregnancies (75.0%). No health concern was currently noted in these children. No severe GES-related complications occurred during pregnancy with only pain at the implantation site reported during 3 pregnancies (18.8%). The severity and frequency of nausea and vomiting significantly increased during the first trimester (p = 0.04 and p = 0.005, respectively) and decreased after the delivery, becoming lower than before the pregnancy (p = 0.044 and p = 0.011, respectively). CONCLUSION & INFERENCES Patients are concerned regarding pregnancy while being treated with GES. No serious maternal or fetal complications related to GES were noted in our cohort.

Gastroparesis in pregnancy. Am J Obstet Gynecol 2022; 228:382-394.

Abstract
Gastroparesis is a functional gastrointestinal disorder that more commonly affects women, with most cases being diagnosed during childbearing age. However, there is a paucity of data and guidelines to specifically highlight the epidemiology, disease course, maternal and fetal impact, and the management of existing gastroparesis during pregnancy. Apart from metoclopramide, there is no approved therapy specifically indicated for gastroparesis. More importantly, pregnant and breastfeeding women are excluded from clinical trials evaluating pharmacologic agents in the management of gastroparesis. This poses a real challenge to healthcare providers in counseling and managing patients with gastroparesis. In this systematic review, we summarize the current available literature and the knowledge gaps in the impact of pregnancy on gastroparesis and vice versa. We also highlight the efficacy and safety profiles of available pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic therapies in the management of patients with gastroparesis, with emphasis on judicious use of dietary approaches that are deemed relatively safe during pregnancy.

Abstract
Gastric electrical stimulation (GES) is currently used as an alternative treatment for medically refractory gastroparesis. GES has been initially developed to accelerate gastric motility, in order to relieve the symptoms of the patients. Subsequent studies, unfortunately, failed to demonstrate the acceleration of gastric emptying using high-frequency stimulation – low energy stimulation although the technique has shown a clinical impact with a reduction of nausea and vomiting for patients with gastroparesis. The present review details the clinical efficacy of GES in gastroparesis as well as its putative mechanisms of action.

Abstract
This is the full version of the Australasian Diabetes in Pregnancy Society (ADIPS) 2020 guideline for pre-existing diabetes and pregnancy. The guideline encompasses the management of women with pre-existing type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes in relation to pregnancy, including preconception, antepartum, intrapartum and postpartum care. The management of women with monogenic diabetes or cystic fibrosis-related diabetes in relation to pregnancy is also discussed.

Abstract
Gastroparesis is a highly prevalent chronic disorder of the stomach, which is characterized by delayed gastric emptying and accompanied by a series of upper gastrointestinal symptoms. Diabetic gastroparesis (DGP) is one of the severe complications of diabetes, seriously affecting the patient's quality of life. At present, the pathogenesis of DGP is still unclear. The majority of DGP patients are women, and women's symptoms change with the fluctuation of the level of estrogen. Therefore, we speculate that estrogen may play an vital role in the stomach motility. Gastric emptying is an objective index for the diagnosis of gastroparesis. This article reviews the role of estrogen in DGP and the possible mechanisms.
