Background: Diabetes mellitus with the first onset in pregnancy is known as gestational diabetesmellitus (GDM) which is a common complication of pregnancy. Maternal vitamin D status has beenassociated with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) but the evidence is inconsistent. Duringpregnancy, this deficiency is even more critical. It appears that vitamin D insufficiency duringpregnancy may be associated with maternal hazards. Methods: This study included 200 pregnantwomen. 100 women already diagnosed with GDM were taken as cases and 100 normal pregnantwomen were taken as control. All the patients included were subjected to detailed history taking.BMI matched in cases and controls. Blood samples were taken from both cases and control ant sentfor Vitamin-D level, HbA1c, fasting blood glucose, and 2hrs postprandial glucose test. Results:Overall 78% of Indian women are vitamin D deficient in the present study. The mean maternalserum vitamin D levels were 9.25±6.07 in GDM cases and in the controls the mean is 18.11±7.86.The difference was statistically significant reflecting that the mean serum vitamin D was decreasedin women with GDM. Vitamin D levels correlated significantly with the fasting blood glucose, thefasting serum insulin, and the HbA1c levels, the P-value in all these correlations were <0.0001.Conclusions: Low maternal serum vitamin d levels were associated with gestational diabetesmellitus. There is a statistically significant negative correlation between glycemic control and vitaminD levels in serum in the whole study population.

Objective To evaluate the relationship between vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphism (FokI [rs10735810]) and serum vitamin D concentration in gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Methods A prospective case-control study that recruited healthy pregnant women (control group) (n = 78) and women with GDM (GDM group) (n = 79), with no other comorbidities. Peripheral blood samples were collected in the 3rd trimester of gestation, and all of the pregnant women were followed-up until the end of the pregnancy and the postpartum period. Serum vitamin D concentrations were measured by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). For genomic polymorphism analysis, the genomic DNA was extracted by the dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide/cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (DTAB/CTAB) method, and genotyping was performed by the polymerase chain reaction – restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) technique, using the restriction enzyme FokI. The Student-t, Mann-Whitney, chi-squared, and Fischer exact tests were used for the analysis of the results. Results There was no significant difference between the pregnant women in the control and GDM groups regarding serum vitamin D levels (17.60 ± 8.89 ng/mL versus 23.60 ± 10.68 ng/mL; p = 0.1). Also, no significant difference was detected between the FokI genotypic frequency when the 2 groups were compared with each other (p = 0.41). Conclusion There was no association between the FokI polymorphism and the development of GDM, nor was there any change in serum vitamin D levels in patients with GDM.

Background: Several studies in the past two decades have proved beyond doubt that there is a high prevalence of hypovitaminosis D worldwide including India which has almost taken the shape of a pandemic. The study aims to determine the prevalence of hypovitaminosis D in the pregnant population of Delhi and its correlation with gestational diabetes mellitus.Methods: This prospective cross sectional observational study was conducted at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER), Dr R.M.L Hospital, New Delhi over a period of 1 year and 4 months. Four hundred term patients were enrolled randomly from amongst the patients admitted in labor room or antenatal ward at PGIMER, Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital who fulfilled the inclusion and exclusion criteria. 3-4ml of fasting blood samples were collected of all the enrolled women and were analysed for total serum calcium levels and serum vitamin D levels. History of presence of gestational diabetes mellitus was noted along with any treatment history. The 25(OH)D levels for each subject was recorded and correlation of vitamin D levels with gestational diabetes mellitus was analysed. Statistical analysis was done using ANOVA/ Kruska Wallis test and Chi-Square test/ Fisher’s exact test. A p value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant.Results: The overall prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in the present study was 86.25%. The overall mean serum vitamin D level was 14.06±9.43 ng/ml. Thirty five out of 37 GDM patients had hypovitaminosis D i.e. 94.59%. The prevalence of hypovitaminosis D among non-GDM population was 85.40%. The association between GDM and Vitamin D deficiency was statistically non- significant in the present study with p value=0.186.Conclusions: There is a very high prevalence of hypovitaminosis D in pregnant females attending present institute i.e. 86.25%. Although 94.59 % of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus patients had vitamin D deficiency, there is no statistically significant association between Gestational diabetes mellitus and serum vitamin D levels.

Objective: This study was aimed to determine the correlation between vitamin D and insulin resistance in women with PCOS. Method: This study was correlational analytic with cross-sectional approach to 34 women diagnosed with PCOS based on ultrasonography. Waist circumference and fasting blood glucose (FBG) represented insulin resistance. Women with hormonal therapy and vitamin D supplementation were not included to this study. This study used consecutive sampling method. Result: The average of age was 25.6±6.1 years old. Waist circumference and fasting blood glucose (FBG) represented insulin resistance. The average of waist circumference and FBG were 87.6±12.4 cm and 86.2±27.9 mg/dl, respectively. The mean of vitamin D levels was 11,5±3,6 ng/ml. According to Spearman’s correlation, vitamin D levels were weak negative correlated with waist circumference (r=-0.2; p>0.05) and FBG (r= -0,1; p>0,05), it statistically was not significant. Conclusion: There is weak negative correlation between vitamin D and metabolic syndrome in PCOS patients.

Abstract Objective Our aim was to evaluate the relationship between serum vitamin D levels before 20 weeks of pregnancy and the risk of gestational diabetes mellitus. Methods This study is a retrospective study. We analyzed the relationship between serum 25 (OH) D level before 20 weeks of pregnancy (first antenatal examination) and the risk of gestational diabetes mellitus. Age, parity and pre-pregnancy body mass index were used as confounding factors. 8468 pregnant women were enrolled in this study between January 2018 and March 2020 at the Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital of Fudan University. Adjusted smoothing splinespline plots, subgroup analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted to estimate the relative risk between 25(OH)D and gestational diabetes mellitus. Results After fully adjusting the confounding factors, serum vitamin D is a protective factor in gestational diabetes mellitus (OR = 0.90). Compared with vitamin D deficiency, vitamin D insufficiency (OR = 0.78), sufficience (OR = 0.82) are a protective factor for gestational diabetes mellitus. Conclusion Sufficience vitamin D before 20 weeks of pregnancy is a protective factor for gestational diabetes mellitus. Vitamin D > 20 ng/mL can reduce the risk of GDM, which is not much different from the effect of > 30 ng/mL. The protective effect of vitamin D is more significant in obese pregnant women.

Abstract Objectives To evaluate the relationship between vitamin D levels in women with gestational diabetes and the birth weight of their newborns. Methods This is a cross-sectional study nested in a controlled clinical trial performed in a public maternity hospital in Rio de Janeiro, with a sample composed of adult pregnant women diagnosed with gestational diabetes mellitus, without other chronic morbidities. The nutritional status of vitamin D was classified as 25(OH)D, being classified as: sufficient between 30 and 100 ng/mL; insufficient: between 20 and 29 ng/mL; and deficient below 20 ng/mL. In this analysis, the data regarding the vitamin D levels at the beginning of the study (T0) of the research were considered, and the dependent variable was the birth weight. Pearson's correlation was performed to evaluate the degree of correlation between two continuous variables, being considered as a level of statistical significance the value of P < 0.05. Results The mean maternal age was 35.4 (± 5.9) years (N = 11), and among these, 18.2% (n = 2) had adequate nutritional status, 27.3% (n = 3), overweight and 54, 5% (n = 6), obesity, according to pre-gestational BMI. Among the factors admitted as a risk for hypovitaminosis D (BMI > 25kg/m², brown/black skin color, marital status (married) and occupation), 45.5% (n = 5) presented 3 or more of them. As for nutritional status of vitamin D, 63.6% (n = 7) had insufficiency, 27.3% (n = 3), deficiency and 9.1% (n = 1), sufficiency. The initial mean concentration of 25(OH)D was 21.2 n/mL. It was observed that 72.7% (n = 8) of the pregnant women presented no gestational intercurrences at delivery or in the puerperium, while 18.4% (n = 2) presented unfavorable outcomes. The mean birth weight was 2842.5 (± 1251.1) grams and the mean gestational age at birth was 36.2 (± 6.5) weeks. With respect to neonatal outcomes was observed a significant positive correlation (r = 0, 900; P = 0.037) between serum levels of 25(OH)D at baseline and birthweight. Conclusions Preliminary data indicated that best status of vitamin D is related to higher birthweight values. Funding Sources FAPERJ (FUNDAÇÃO DE AMPARO À PESQUISA DO ESTADO DO RIO DE JANEIRO).
