Abstract Background Few studies have explored the relationship between food habits and the risk of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in women from India. We aimed to investigate the associations of food habits and the risk of GDM. Methods As part of the MAASTHI prospective cohort study in urban Bengaluru, India, pregnant women between 18 and 45 years, less than 36 weeks of gestation were included. During baseline, the participant’s age, education, physical activity levels, and food habits were recorded. Screening of GDM was done by the World Health Organization diagnostic criteria using a 2-h 75-g oral glucose tolerance test between the 24th–36th weeks of gestation. Results We included 1777 pregnant women in the study. We show that 17.6% of the women had GDM, of which 76.7% consume red meat. Red meat consumption was associated with an increased risk of GDM (aRR = 2.1, 95% CI 1.5, 2.9) after adjusting for age, family history of diabetes and socioeconomic status. Conclusion The high intake of red meat consumption in pregnancy needs further examination. Also, future evaluations should consider evaluating the risk of red meat consumption against the combined effect of inadequate consumption of vegetables, fruits, and dairy products in pregnant women. Interventions to educate women in lower socioeconomic status on inexpensive, seasonal, and healthy food might be helpful.

BackgroundPrevious evidence indicates that birth season is associated with type 2 diabetes in adults. However, information on the association of birth with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is lacking. The present study explores the association between birth seasonality and GDM in East China.MethodsThis retrospective cohort study was conducted at the International Peace Maternal and child health hospital between 2014 and 2019. A total of 79, 292 pregnant women were included in the study after excluding participants with previous GDM, stillbirth, polycystic ovary syndrome, and lack of GDM laboratory records. The multivariate logistic regression model was employed to estimate the odds ratio and 95% confidence interval. After log transformation of blood glucose level, the percentage change and 95% confidence interval were estimated by a multivariate linear model.ResultsThe risk of GDM among pregnant women born in spring, autumn, and winter was not significantly different compared to that among participants born in summer. Pregnant women born in autumn had significantly higher 1-hour postprandial blood glucose (PBG-1h) and 2-hour postprandial blood glucose (PBG-2h) levels than pregnant women born in summer. Compared to pregnant women born in August, the PBG-1h level of pregnant women born in October, November, and December increased significantly, whereas the PBG-2h levels of pregnant women born in November and December increased significantly.ConclusionPregnant women born in autumn exhibit higher postprandial blood glucose levels during pregnancy than in those born in summer. The findings provide evidence that exposure to seasonal changes in early life may influence blood glucose metabolism during pregnancy.

Previous literature has reported that patients with diabetes in pregnancy (DIP) are at risk of developing antepartum depression but the results have been inconsistent in cohort studies. We conducted a systematic review and performed a meta-analysis to quantify the association between DIP and risk of antepartum depression in cohort studies. Medline, Cinahl, and PubMed databases were searched for studies investigating DIP involving pregnant women with pre-existing diabetes and gestational diabetes mellitus and their risk of antepartum depression that were published in journals from inception to 27 December 2019. We derived the summary estimates using a random-effects model and reported the findings as pooled relative risks (RR) and confidence interval (CI). Publication bias was assessed using a funnel plot and was quantified by Egger and Begg’s tests. Ten studies, involving 71,036 pregnant women were included in this meta-analysis. The pooled RR to develop antepartum depression was (RR = 1.430, 95% CI: 1.251–1.636) among women with gestational diabetes mellitus. Combining pregnant women with pre-existing diabetes mellitus and gestational diabetes mellitus, they had a significant increased risk of developing antepartum depression (RR = 1.431, 95% CI: 1.205–1.699) compared with those without it. In comparison, we found no association between pre-existing diabetes mellitus in pregnancy (RR = 1.300, 95% CI: 0.736–2.297) and the risk of developing antepartum depression. This study has a few limitations: first, different questionnaire and cut-off points were used in evaluation of depression across the studies. Second, there was a lack of data on history of depression prior to pregnancy, which lead to confounding bias that could not be solved by this meta-analysis. Third, data were dominated by studies in Western countries; this is due to the studies from Eastern countries failing to meet our inclusion criteria for statistical analysis. Women with gestational diabetes mellitus have an increased risk of developing antepartum depression compared to those without the disease. Therefore, more attention on the mental health status should be given on pregnant women diagnosed with pre-existing diabetes mellitus and gestational diabetes mellitus.

IntroductionGestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a common metabolic disorder occurring in up to 10% of pregnancies in the western world. Most women with GDM are asymptomatic; therefore, it is important to screen, diagnose and manage the condition as it is associated with an increased risk of maternal and perinatal complications. Diagnosis of GDM is made in the late second trimester or early third trimester because accurate diagnosis or risk stratification in the first trimester is still lacking. An increase in serum proinsulin may be seen earlier in pregnancy and before a change in glycaemic control can be identified. This study will aim to establish if fasting proinsulin concentrations at 16–18 weeks gestation will help to identify or risk stratify high-risk pregnant women with GDM.Methods and analysisThis is a prospective, longitudinal cohort study. Two oral glucose tolerance tests will be carried out at 16–18 and 24–28 weeks gestation in 200 pregnant women with at least one risk factor for GDM (body mass index>30 kg/m2, previous macrosomic baby (>4.5 kg), previous gestational diabetes, first degree relative with type 2 diabetes mellitus) recruited from antenatal clinics. Blood samples will be taken fasting and at 30 min, 1 and 2 hours following the 75 g glucose load. In addition, a fasting blood sample will be taken 6-weeks post delivery. All samples will be analysed for glucose, insulin, C peptide and proinsulin. Recruitment began in November 2017. Optimal cut-off points for proinsulin to diagnose gestational diabetes according to National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (2015) criteria will be established by the receiver operating characteristic plot and sensitivity and specificity will be calculated to assess the diagnostic accuracy of proinsulin at 16–18 weeks gestation.Ethics and disseminationThis study received ethical approval from the Wales Research Ethics Committee (Panel 6) (Ref. 17/WA/0194). Data will be presented at international conferences and published in peer-reviewed journals.Trial registration numberISRCTN16416602; Pre-results.

Been analyzed and studied the characteristics of hemostasis in pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus. Found that for women with disorders of carbohydrate metabolism characte-rized by increased activity of procoagulant, vascular-platelet hemostasis, and decreased activity of fibrinolityc system. It is shown that the violations of the haemostatic system is directly dependent on the degree of compensation of carbohydrate metabolism and require adequate correction of glycemia. Thus, GDM is an important predictor of hemostatic disorders and possible venous thromboembolism in pregnancy.
