  1. Gestational Diabetes Detection & Treatment

  2. Backdrop • India has approx. 62.4 million diabetics and this number is likely to increase to 101 million by 2030 • It is estimated that about 16% of women who get pregnant every year develop diabetes during gestation period • Considering the deliveries per annum being twenty-seven million, it is estimated that about three to four million women suffer from Gestational Diabetes every year • Of these three million women - 30% go on to develop type-2 diabetes in 5-10 years, and more than 50% become diabetic over a period of 20 years

  3. Diabetes in India • Over 62 million diabetics; likely to increase to over 100 million by 2030 • ~16% pregnant women develop diabetes during gestation period • 3 to 4 million women suffer from Gestational Diabetes every year • ~ 30% develop type-2 diabetes in 5-10 years; > 50% become diabetic over a period of 20 years

  4. RiskFactors Asian / Indian women ethnically more prone to get diabetes Overweight women (age group 30-39, 20% more than ideal body weight) Family history of diabetes (parents or siblings) Women with PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) Previously delivered a large baby or a stillborn Having too much amniotic fluid (polyhydramnios) Gestational diabetes in previous pregnancy

  5. Screening for Gestational Diabetes • Normal detection process - WHO recommended OGTT (oral glucose tolerance test). Glucose levels measured 2hrs after giving 75gms of glucose drink.Level ≥ 140mg/dl warrants doctor consultation. • DIPSI (Diabetes in Pregnancy Study group India) has come up with modified OGTT. This test should be done during first visit to doctor’s clinic and repeated at 24-28 weeks and again at 32 -34 weeks to diagnose and incorporate early intervention

  6. Treatment DIPSI stresses on the following guidelines to manage gestational diabetes: • Good glycemic control by providing psychological support and educating patients about the impact on child and maternal health • Self-monitoring of blood sugar (SMBG) using glucometers a better option in comparison to infrequent lab testing • Target glucose level at Fasting – 90, 2hr PP – 140mg/dl • At least weekly monitoring should be encouraged

  7. … Treatment Normal sugar or Euglycaemia is achieved by: • Diet • Exercises • Oral medicines • Insulin Any diabetic treatment and medication must be taken only in consultation with your Gynecologist/ Physician. Self-medication can be dangerous. Also consult your doctor & dietician about the type of exercises and diet.

  8. Diet • Carbohydrate, Proteins and, Fats adjusted as per Caloric requirements depending on age, activity, pre-pregnancy weight and stage of pregnancy • Approx.300 cal. above basal requirement is ideal to gain optimum recommended weight i.e. (normal weight 10-12kg, BMI ≥30,0-5 kg) • Emphasis on overall healthy food choices (portion control & good cooking practices) and carbohydrate controlled meal plan • The carbohydrates that produce small fluctuation in blood glucose and insulin levels (low Glycemic index foods) are recommended
