obesity
family hx DM2
hx gestational DM
Hx PCOS
HX still births
hx macrosomic babies
what weight of the baby is considered macrosomic
8lbs 13 oz
when is the testing for gestational diabetes done
24-28 weeks gestation
describe the 1 step process for gestational diabetes testing
8 hr fast BG<92
75g oral glucose
1 hr- BG <180
2 hr- BG <153
describe the 2 step process for gestational diabetes testing
non fasting
50 g oral glucose
1 hr BG> 130, go to step 2
step 2: 100 g oral glucose test with BG tested at 1,2,3 hours
What causes gestational diabetes?
progressive resistance to insulin
-maternal adipokines
what are HgA1C levels pre and intra pregnancy
pre: 4-5.5%
post: 4.8-6.5%
T/F if you have gestational DM, you have DM2 after preggers
F, most return to baseline after birth
-but have an increased risk for DM and gestational DM
how are insulin requirements affected in pregestational DM
increase from 0.7 units/kg to 1.0 units/kg at term
how are insulin requirements in pregnancies with multiple gestation
higher
how are nighttime maternal insulin requirements
requirements may drop
T/F epidural analgesia and oxytocin affect insulin requirements during first and second stages of labor
false
how is insulin requirment for DM 1 after birth
decreases for several days
what risks are increased with maternal DM
HTN
polyhydramnios
C section
why does DM increase risk of C section
big babies
what is a large amount of amniotic fluid
polyhydramnios
DM 1 are _____x more likely to develop gestational HTN
3
pregestational DM is at a ____-______x greater risk of preterm labor and delivery
2-3
what are risks of macrosomia
birth trauma and shoulder dystocia
what is macrosomia
A high-birthweight infant
what are some fetal risks of maternal DM
macrosomia
5x more likely to have anomalies (cardiac)
neonatal hypoglycemia
what treatment can reduce anomalies from 10% to 1%
strict BG control
in maternal DM is hyper or hypoglycemia preferred
hypo
what level should BG be maintained at in maternal DM
nondiabetic levels
