Investigation of gestational diabetes mellitus and rate of pre-eclampsia

Abstract

Introduction: Clinical manifestation of these diseases may disappear early with the termination of pregnancy, however, due to systemic pathological changes, women with a history of GDM or preeclampsia are at high risk for developing type 2 diabetes or chronic hypertension.Materials and Methods: Patient’s details and history were taken and general physical and local examination was conducted. Patients were put on treatment according to the blood glucose levels; they were treated either medical Nutrional therapy (or) combined (Insulin along with MNT).Results: There were 15 subjects in GDM with PE and 22 in GDM without PE in primi, 10 in GDM with PE and without PE in 2nd gravida, 3 in GDM with PE and 6 in GDM without PE in 3rd and 2 in GDM with PE and 4 in GDM without PE in 4th and above gravida. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). Conclusion: Due to such adverse outcomes mentioned in patients with borderline AFI and because there is no sufficient evidence and specific decision about delivery based on a borderline AFI, there should be a close observation and antepartum surveillance for them.
