polyhydramnios/carbohydrate

BACKGROUND Gestational diabetes is impaired carbohydrate metabolism first diagnosed in pregnancy. Knowledge of diabetes dates back to centuries before Christ. Objective was to describe maternal complications during antenatal period and Maternal and neonatal outcome in gestational diabetes

Ever today diabetes and pregnancy constitute a high risk situation of the mother as well for the fetus, since still high maternal-fetal mortality rates are observed. A series of 134 diabetic women (99 type A, 15 type B, and 20 type C) were evaluated during pregnancy and delivery, and the results

A program designed to achieve normal plasma glucose concentrations before meals was tested in 83 insulin-dependent diabetic women during 110 pregnancies. The women rigidly controlled their carbohydrate intake but not their total energy intake, and twice daily they injected a combination of

OBJECTIVE To review the literature regarding screening and definitive testing for Gestational Diabetes (GDM) and to assess whether treatment after identification changes perinatal/neonatal outcome. METHODS Directed medline searches. RESULTS Gestational Diabetes Mellitus is defined as carbohydrate

The clinical heterogeneity of Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is also evident during the gestational period and thus, pregnancy could be complicated by a previously diagnosed DM or by diabetes that is first diagnosed during pregnancy (gestational diabetes or gestational alteration of the oral glucose

We studied 374 pregnant diabetic women to determine the value of various ultrasound parameters in the prediction of fetal macrosomia. The correlation between ultrasonographic signs and maternal glycaemia in the development of fetal macrosomia was also studied. Significant correlation was observed

Diabetes mellitus is the most common medical complication of pregnancy and it carries a significant risk to the foetus and the mother. Congenital malformations and perinatal morbidity remain common compared with the offspring of non diabetic pregnancies. Diabetic mothers are at risk of progression

Polydipsia, polyuria, polyphagia, and glucosuria followed the administration of streptozotocin to 6 nonpregnant and 15 pregnant monkeys (Macaca mulatta) in the first trimester of pregnancy. The diabetogenic action of the drug was also reflected in an induced but variable deterioration in maternal

The patient, a woman, aged 40, had five normal pregnancies before, and six abnormal pregnancies after, the onset of diabetic symptoms. The case differed from typical diabetes in the following respects. In spite of severe thirst and polyuria, lasting untreated for six years, the patient became very

Diabetes mellitus during pregnancy could result in severe or fatal complications to mother or the unborn product, like polyhydramnios, preeclampsia, abortion, neonatal asphyxia, macrosomia, stillbirth, and others, therefore is very important the early detection and treatment of diabetes. Gestacional

OBJECTIVE The current study was performed to investigate the effects of the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) eating plan on pregnancy outcomes in pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). METHODS This randomized controlled clinical trial was performed among 52 women
