society getting bigger
more risks for diabetes
american indian
higher risk of diabetes
pre-screening in obese pregnant women
prenatal labs
group B strep
ultrasound
HgA1c
> 4000g baby
LGA - large for gestational age
consider delivery if 37 weeks
HBA1c >6
diabetes uncontrolled
treatment for hyperglycemia in pregnant
insulin
metformin
glyburide
need to control glucose levels
diabetes in pregnancy
two types of patients
1922
insulin discovered
pre-gestational DM
mother has DM I or 2 before pregnant
chronic hyperglycemia
injury to all organ systems
class B
onset diabetes age 20 or older with duration less than 10 years
class C
onset diabetes at age 10-19 and duration of 10-19 years
class D
onset diabetes before age 10 and duration more than 20 years
class E
overt diabetes with calcified pelvic vessels
DM I
destruction of beta cells of pancreas
5-10% of all diabetes
1% diabetes in pregnancy
have baby that is very small
DM II
90-95% cases
insulin resistance and relative insulin deficiency
most managed - lifestyle mods, diet, exercise
diabetic pregnant
look at eyes, kidneys, neuropathies
get a HbA1c
malformation in infants of diabetic mothers
caudal regression spina bifida heart anomalies anal/rectal atresia situs inversus
gestational diabetes
during pregnancy
-first recognized when pregnant
caused by HPL - prevents body from using insulin
relative insulin resistance
long term risk fx for diabetes**
carbohydrate intolerance
pancreas cannot secrete enough insulin
-increases glucose
crosses placenta
-stored in fetus - excess fat
risk factors for GDM
increased maternal weight and age previous GDM previous macrosomic infant fam hx diabetes ethnic background - non-hispanic black, latino, american indian, pacific islander
US
8% population have diabetes
women over 20 - half of these individuals
only 25% aware they have disease
first trimester
decreased fasting blood glucose
insulin production and sensitivity increase
end of first trimester
decrease sensitivity
responding increase in insulin production
creates diabetogenic state of pregnancy
