GDM
Gestational Diabetes
MellitusIs it physiological?
Is it a disease?
Should we screen for gdm?
Does it require treatment?
Recent RCTs settled the issues
Crowther et al. NEJM 2005;352
GDMGlucose Intolerance in Pregnancy
www.drsarma.in 3
Prevalence of GDM 3 to 18 %
GDMGDM - Definition
• Distinguish GDM from Pre-gestational DM
• Abnormal Glucose Tolerance• Onset (begins) with pregnancy or• Detected first time during pregnancy• No h/o of pre pregnancy DM or IGT• Hb A 1 c is usually < 7.5 in GDM• In DM + Pregnancy it is > 7.5 • GDM is a forerunner of T2DM
www.drsarma.in 4
GDMPathogenesis of GDM
• Pregnancy is Diabetogenic condition• A Wonderful Metabolic Stress Test• Placental Diabetogenic Hormones
– Progesterone, Cortisol, GH– Human Placental Lactogen (HPL), Prolactin
• Insulin Resistance (IR), ↑ cell stimulation• Reduced Insulin Sensitivity up to 80%• Impaired 1st phase insulin, Hyperinsulinemia• Islet cell auto antibodies (2 to 25% cases)• Glucokinase mutation in 5% of cases
www.drsarma.in 5
GDMFundamental Defect in GDM
• The hormones of pregnancy cause IR• They also cause direct
hyperglycemia • But, the basic defect is • The maternal pancreatic cells are
unable to compensate for this increased demand

GDMRisk Stratification for GDM
• High Risk Group (Indians mostly)– BMI 30; PCOD; Age > 35 years– F h/o DM; Ethnic predisposition; Acanthosis– Previous h/o GDM, IGT, Macrosomic baby
• Low Risk Group– Age < 25, BMI < 23, No F h/o DM or IGT– No bad obstetric history; No ↑ risk ethnicity
• Intermediate Risk Group– Not falling in the above two classes
www.drsarma.in 9Adopted from ADA guidelines
GDMWhom to Screen for GDM ?
• Low Risk Group – No screening required for GDM
• Intermediate Risk Group– Screen around 24–28 weeks of gestation
• High Risk Group– As soon as possible after conception– Must - before 24–28 weeks of gestation– Better do a full 3 hr OGTT for GDM– If negative – screening in 2nd & 3rd
trimesterwww.drsarma.in 10Adopted from ADA guidelines
GDMIndian Scenario
• Since the pregnant mothers without any of the risk factors are so very few in India
• Since we boast of being in the DM capitol • We need to screen all pregnant women• And identify early the GDM problem• We have enough tough maternal problems• Let us at least treat a treatable problem
www.drsarma.in 11
GDMGDM – Two Step Screening
• Two Step Screening– Do a Random Glucose Challenge Test (GCT)– 50 grams of oral glucose any time of day– 1 hour post test for plasma glucose (1 hr PG)– Result > 180 mg% - Dx of GDM confirmed– Result > 140 mg% - Dx of GDM suspected– 140 to 180 – We need OGTT (100 g) to confirm
• One Step Screening– OGTT – 3 hours after 100 g of oral glucose

GDMGlucose Challenge Test (GCT)
www.drsarma.in 13
GDMPlease be specific
• Do not use the ‘loose’ word ‘Blood Sugar’• Be specific to measure ‘Plasma Glucose’• Always venous sample for OGTT• No capillary blood testing for OGTT• NaF to be added as anticoagulant to blood• Centrifuge to separate plasma
immediately• Plasma glucose to be estimated a.s.a.p• Glucometer can be used for monitoring
www.drsarma.in 14
GDMOGTT –100g –3 hour Test
www.drsarma.in 15
GDMSome Questions
When to order for USG ?• Scan for anomalies at 20-weeks • Growth scans from 26-28 weeksBreast feed or not after delivery ?• Must give breast feeding• This reduces maternal glucose
intolerance
www.drsarma.in 16
GDMGDM – Fetal Morbidity
• Macrosomia of the baby• CPD – Shoulder Dystocia• Intrapartum Trauma – Feto-maternal• Congenital Anomalies, HCM• Neonatal Hypoglycemia• Neonatal Hypocalcemia• Neonatal Hyperbilirubinemia• Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS)• Polycythemia (secondary) in the new born
www.drsarma.in 17
GDMMacrosomia
• Birth weight > 4000 g - 90th percentile GA• ↑ Intrapartum feto-maternal trauma• Increased need for C- Section • 20 – 30% of infants of GDM – Macrosomic• Maternal factors for Macrosomia
– Uncontrolled Hyperglycemia– Particularly postprandial hyperglycemia– High BMI of mother– Older maternal age, Multiparity

GDMMacrosomic Newborn (4.2kg)

GDMShoulder Dystocia

Erb’s palsy
GDMMacrosomia
GDMNeonatal Hypoglycemia
• Due to fetal hyperinsulinemia• Neonatal plasma glucose < 30 mg%• Poor glycemic control before delivery• Increases perinatal morbidity• Congenital anomalies – 3 to 8 times
more• More if periconception hyperglycemia• Assoc. maternal fasting hyperglycemia

GDMLate effects on the offspring
• Increased risk of IGT• Future risk of T2DM• Risk of Obesity
www.drsarma.in 27
GDMMaternal Morbidity
• Hypertension; Insulin Resistance• Preeclampsia and Eclampsia• Cesarean delivery; Pre term labour• Polyhydramnios – fluid > 2000 ml• Post-partum uterine atony• Abruptio placenta
www.drsarma.in 28
GDMRisk of T2DM after GDM
• IGT and T2DM after delivery in 40% of GDM• R.R of T2DM for all with GDM is 6 (C.I. 4.1 – 8.8) • Must be counseled for healthy life style• Re-evaluate with 75 g OGTT after 6 wk, 6
months• More risk - if GDM before 24 wks of gestation• High levels of hyperglycemia during pregnancy• If the mother is obese and has +ve family h/o • GDM in previous pregnancies and age > 35 yrs.• High risk ethnic group (like Indians)
www.drsarma.in 29
GDMA Delicate Balance !
• Plasma Glucose values in pregnancy hang on a delicate balance• If the Mean Plasma Glucose (MPG) is
– Less than 87 mg% - IUGR of fetus– More than 104 mg% - LGA of fetus
• It is imp. to screen for hypothyroidism
www.drsarma.in 30
GDMWomen with T2DM
• T2DM patients must plan their pregnancy• Preconception Hb A1c 7.00; MAU estimate• OADs should be discontinued; Folic acid + • Start on Insulin and titrate for euglycemia• Nutrition and weight gain counseling• ACEi and ARB must be substituted• Screening for retinopathy; nephro (eGFR
<90)• Must avoid hypoglycemia and ketosis• SMBG must be trained and started
www.drsarma.in 31
GDMGDM – Glycemic Targets
www.drsarma.in 32
GDMGDM and MNT
• Two weeks trial of Medical Nutrition Therapy • Pre-pregnancy BMI is a predictor of the efficacy • If target glycemia is not achieved initiate insulin• MNT – extra 300 calories in 2 and 3rd trimesters• Calories – 30 kcal/kg/day = 1800 kcal for 60 kg• If BMI > 30; then only 25 kcal/kg/day• 3 meals and 3 snacks – avoid hypoglycemia• 50% of total calories as CHO, 25% protein & fat• Low glycemic, complex CHO, fiber rich foods
www.drsarma.in 33
GDMDiet therapy in GDM
• Small, frequent meals
• Avoid eating for two
• Avoid fasts and feasts
• Avoid health drinks
• Eat a bedtime snack
GDMTips for diet management
• Small breakfast
• Mid morning snack
• High protein lunch
• Mid afternoon snack
• Usual dinner
• Bed time snack
GDMGDM and Exercise
• Recumbent bicycle • Upper body egometric exercises• Moderate exercises• Mother to palpate for uterine
contractions• Walking is the simplest and easiest• Continue pre pregnancy activity• Do not start new vigorous exercise
www.drsarma.in 36
GDMGDM and Insulins
• In 10 to 15% of GDM, MNT fails –Start on insulin• Good glycemic control – No increased risk• Human Insulins only – Not Analogs• Daily SMBG up to 7 times!• Insulin Glargine (Lantus) – Not to be used at all• Insulin Lispro tested and does not cross placenta• Insulin Aspart not evaluated for safty• CSII may be needed in some cases• Oral drugs not recommended (SU?, Metformin?)
www.drsarma.in 37
GDMInsulin Regimen
• If MNT fails after 2 - 4 weeks of trial• Initiate Insulin + Continue MNT• Dose: 0.7, 0.8 and 0.9 u/kg – 1, 2 & 3 trim.• Eg. 1st trim – 64 kg = 0.7 x 64 = 45 units• Give 2/3 before BF = 30 units of 30:70 mix• Give 1/3 before supper = 15 u of 50:50 mix• Increase total dose by 2-4 units based on BG• After BG levels stabilize – monitor till term
www.drsarma.in 38
GDMGDM and Delivery
• Delivery until 40 weeks is not recommended• Delivery before 39th week – assess the
pulmonary maturity by phosphatase test on amniocentesis fluid
• C - Section may be needed (25 -30%)• Be prepared for the neonatal complications• Assess the mother after delivery for glycemia• May need to continue insulin for a few days• Pre-gestational DM–Insulin (30% less) or OAD
