Abstract
Background: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), which are growing health concerns globally, are the most common metabolic and endocrine perinatal issues. It is a contentious entity with competing policies and procedures. Most physicians in the United States employ a two-step procedure, starting with a 50-g non-fasting oral glucose challenge test at 24 to 28 weeks and moving on to a 100-g fasting test for women who receive a positive screening result. Instead, doctors use the Diabetes in Pregnancy Study Group India (DIPSI) technique and conduct just a 75-g, two-hour fasting oral glucose tolerance test.
Materials and Methods: The prospective observational study was approved by the hospital's institutional ethics committee and was conducted from April 2020 to September 2021 at the department of obstetrics and gynecology at Stanley Medical College Hospital in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India. The patients were chosen in accordance with the inclusion criteria, which called for first-trimester pregnant women without diabetes mellitus. Both oral and written consent were also obtained. DIPSI performed the screening. The WHO standards have been updated to be a one-step process with a single glycemic value.
Results: According to the results of this study, GDM is linked to harmful consequences that might affect both the mother and the foetus.
Conclusion: The short- and long-term consequences in both the mother and the newborn can be greatly reduced with early detection and timely therapy of this illness. In this study, birth weights ranging from 2.5 to 3.5 kg were the same for GDM and IGT moms. IGT mothers should also be followed up on, and we should be more watchful at birth, even though we monitor GDM mothers.
