Summary: The diagnosis rate of gestational diabetes mellitus is increasing year by year, and pregnant women with GDM risk factors are at risk of increased weight gain and delivering large-for-gestational-age (LGA) newborns, even with normal OGTT results.

Summary: The level of gestational weight gain (GWG) during pregnancy is associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes in women with gestational diabetes (GDM) compared to women with normal glucose tolerance (NGT). Low GWG below recommended levels frequently occurs in GDM women without increased risk for adverse outcomes. Excessive GWG is associated with increased risk for neonatal hypoglycemia and worse metabolic profile postpartum in GDM women, and with higher rates of instrumental delivery and larger infants in NGT women.

Summary: The study found that women with higher postpartum plasma glycated CD59 (pGCD59) levels were more likely to develop glucose intolerance, with a 0.5-unit increase in pGCD59 associated with a 3.3-fold increase in risk of glucose intolerance postpartum. pGCD59 measured during pregnancy was a poor predictor for glucose intolerance postpartum.

Summary: Factors such as older age, vacuum-assisted delivery, GDMA2 diagnosis, and receiving recommendations for screening at a postpartum visit increase the likelihood of women with GDM undergoing postpartum DM screening.

Summary: Up to 1 in 3 patients with gestational diabetes mellitus have impaired glucose metabolism during postpartum screening, with a high risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus. Timely screening is recommended, but the rates are low, indicating a healthcare quality gap. The use of a uniform metric for measuring postpartum screening completion is proposed, with discussion of barriers and potential quality improvement projects.

Summary: Despite the increasing prevalence of gestational diabetes mellitus, there is a low rate of postpartum screening in this population. Factors influencing adherence to follow-up care include distance from the screening center, family history of diabetes, and number of pregnancies. Improving accessibility to healthcare centers could help increase postpartum follow-up rates for women with gestational diabetes.

Summary: The study demonstrates that the absence of headaches does not indicate a lower general pain sensitivity, suggesting that headaches may be caused by specific mechanisms related to primary disorders rather than a decreased sensitivity to painful stimuli.

Summary: Gestational diabetes (GD) affects pregnancy and increases the risk of type 2 diabetes. The study aimed to explore how often individuals with GD access primary care and type 2 diabetes screening.

Summary: This study aimed to identify risk factors for early postpartum weight retention (PPWR) and glucose intolerance (GI) in women with gestational diabetes (GDM). The results showed that excessive gestational weight gain, lack of breastfeeding, higher dietary fat intake, insulin use during pregnancy, multiparity, lower prepregnancy body mass index (BMI), and lower education degree were independent predictors for early PPWR. Women with high PPWR had a more impaired postpartum metabolic profile, breastfed less often, had higher rates of depression and anxiety, and lower quality of life. Additionally, 28% of participants had GI, with women with high PPWR being more likely to have GI. Only 12.9% of women with high PPWR perceived themselves at high risk for diabetes but were more willing to change their lifestyle.

Summary: GDM complicating pregnancy may accelerate the development of pathological cardiac remodeling, likely through activation of the calcineurin/NFAT signaling pathway.

Summary: DNA methylation can be used in the diagnosis of gestational diabetes and in predicting the risk of maternal postpartum glucose disturbances. This study identified three CpG sites related to GDM and abnormal glucose tolerance and found that LINC00917 and TRAPPC9 sites were independently associated with postpartum abnormal glucose tolerance.

Summary: Early gestational diabetes mellitus is associated with postpartum dysglycemia in patients with obesity at a higher risk compared to gestational diabetes mellitus diagnosed through routine screening. Larger studies are needed to confirm these findings, but postpartum follow-up and diabetes mellitus testing may be even more important for improving long-term health in patients with early gestational diabetes mellitus.

Summary: Gestational glucose intolerance (GGI), an abnormal initial gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) screening test without a GDM diagnosis, is associated with an increased risk of future diabetes. Individuals with GGI have a higher risk of developing diabetes compared to those with normal glucose tolerance during pregnancy. Routine clinical data can be used to identify this unrecognized group who may benefit from enhanced diabetes screening and prevention.

Summary: This study compared the outcomes and cost-effectiveness of sleep apnea management in primary care versus specialist care. The findings showed that primary care-based management of sleep apnea had similar outcomes at a lower cost, providing strong support for its implementation.
