Question
Answer
When do you screen with 1 hour glucose   At 24-28 weeks in patients >25 or family history of DM or Ethnic risk (AA, Hispanic, Native American, Asian)  
🗑
Risk factors for GDM   >25 years, prior GDM/family hx, prior big baby/still birth, BMI >/=27, chronic HTN, glycosuria  
🗑
What is the biggest complication of GDM   Big babies that don’t want to come out (macrosomia/ shoulder dystocia)  
🗑
What are the birth traumas associated with macrosomia   Brachial plexus injury, clavicular injury, facial nerve injury  
🗑
Risk factors for fetal growth restriction   CVD (hypertension), smoking, fetal abnormalities, multifetal gestation, abnormal placentation, poor maternal wt gain or nutrition  
🗑
In second half of PG, increased concentrations of __ combine to produce modest maternal insulin resistance, which is countered by postprandial hyperinsulinemia   Human placental lactogen, free and total cortisol, and prolactin  
🗑
What is the most common medical complication of pregnancy   Diabetes mellitus  
🗑
Preexisting diabetes mellitus affects approximately __ per 1000 pregnancies   1-3

🗑
GDM complicates __% of pregnancies   4  
🗑
Women with GDM have an approximately __% risk of developing type 2 diabetes over the next 10 years   50  
🗑
hormone mainly responsible for insulin resistance and lipolysis =   Human placental lactogen (similar structure to growth hormone: reduces insulin affinity to insulin receptors)  
🗑
HbA1C can predict the risk for __ when measured in the first trimester   Malformation  
🗑
Higher maternal glucose => higher fetal glucose => higher levels of insulin => fetal:   Macrosomia, central fat deposition, enlargement of internal organs such as the heart  
🗑
What are risk factors for developing GDM   Obesity, prior hx of GDM, heavy glycosuria, unexplained stillbirth, prior infant with major malformation, family hx of DM in first degree relative  
🗑
When should at risk pregnant women be screened for GDM   As soon as feasible and again between 24 and 28 weeks  
🗑
Which women can be omitted for GDM screening   Age <25, normal body wt, no family hx, no hx of abnormal glucose metabolism/poor OB outcome, and not a member of an ethnic or racial group at high risk

🗑
What is the mainstay of treatment in the pregnant women with pregestational diabetes   Rigorous control of blood glucose  
🗑
What is an optimal fasting glucose in pregnancy   70-95  
🗑
What is an optimal 1-hr postprandial glucose value during pregnancy   Less than 140  
🗑

🗑
GTT is diagnostic for gestational DM with these values:   >130 on 1st screen (50gm, check at 1 hr). Confirmatory screen (100gm): >180 at 1 hr, >155 at 2 hr, >140 at 3 hr  
🗑
