Summary: This longitudinal cohort study in China aimed to comprehensively assess the association between gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and perinatal depression (PND). The results indicate no association between GDM/blood glucose and PND.

Summary: The study found a significant correlation between maternal fasting plasma glucose levels and birth weight as well as the risk of macrosomia in infants of mothers with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Other blood glucose levels showed weaker associations with these parameters and maternal blood glucose levels did not affect placental weight.

Summary: This study reveals the impact of maternal pre-pregnancy BMI status on the risk of macrosomia and LGA through the mediation of GDM. Being overweight or obese before pregnancy increases the risk of macrosomia and LGA independently as well as partially mediated by GDM.

Summary: The effect of abnormal OGTT0h+1h+2h on macrosomia was significantly greater than other OGTT characteristics, especially for those with pre-pregnancy BMI >= 24 kg/m2.

Summary: The study found that a metabolite ratio originally developed for predicting FGR also accurately predicts LGA birth weight and is inversely associated with birth weight across the whole range.

Summary: Exposure to PFAS during pregnancy may impact glucose homeostasis and increase the risk of GDM, particularly in women with normal prepregnant BMI. Some PFAS, such as PFHpA and PFOS, were found to be significantly associated with GDM incidence and glucose levels during pregnancy.

Summary: In this study, RNA-seq was used to analyze the transcriptomic profile of adipose tissues in patients with gestational diabetes. The results revealed differences based on anatomical location and provided whole-transcriptome data for further exploration of unique gene expression patterns in gestational diabetes patients.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the efficacy of flash glucose monitoring (FGM) in the management of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). The results showed that the FGM group significantly reduced fasting and postprandial glycaemia during the first 4 weeks following GDM diagnosis, and the incidence of fetal macrosomia was significantly lower in the FGM group compared to the control group.

Summary: This study systematically reviewed the effect of induction at term gestation among women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and conducted meta-analysis. The results showed that induction can reduce the risk of macrosomia and severe perineal lacerations. However, the impact on cesarean section remains unclear.

Summary: This study identified differential metabolic biomarkers between women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and macrosomia (GDM-M) and those with GDM and normal neonatal weight (GDM-N). Using LASSO regression and Logistic regression, a predictive model was constructed with nine predictors that displayed good performance in predicting GDM-M risk. This model is of significant importance for predicting the risk of macrosomia in women with GDM.

Summary: The glycemic thresholds used to diagnose GDM are still a topic of debate. This study compared maternal and neonatal outcomes in women with mild hyperglycemia who were treated or left untreated. The results showed that treating women with mild hyperglycemia decreased the risk of adverse outcomes.

Summary: French Guiana has a high prevalence of gestational diabetes mellitus, but universal screening and monitoring can limit the risk of macrosomia among pregnant women. Obstetrical complications are common in this context of widespread poverty and diverse cultural representations, while neonatal complications are rare.

Summary: The study found that gestational diabetes mellitus and high maternal triglyceride levels independently increased the risk of macrosomia, and collectively acted as significant mediators in the relationship between pre-pregnancy overweight/obesity and macrosomia.

Summary: Untreated 'mild' gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in pregnant women had worse pregnancy outcomes compared to normal glucose tolerant women, but these differences were explained by pre-pregnancy BMI after adjustment.

Summary: Recent studies have shown that leptin plays a crucial role in placental physiology and its expression is increased in gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). However, the impact of leptin on placental nutrient transport remains unclear. This review aims to explore the effect of leptin on placental nutrient transport and the activated signaling pathways involved in the expression of placental transporters in GDM. Leptin appears to be an important hormone that regulates placental transport, and understanding its role could potentially improve maternal health and fetal growth in cases of GDM.
