Why the study?
Data on the glycemic profile of pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus during the perinatal period were sparse.
Do pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus have different intrapartum and early postpartum glucose profiles compared to women with non-diabetic pregnancies?
Population
124 pregnant women admitted for childbirth
Comparison
GDM receiving lifestyle interventions alone vs matched non-diabetic pregnancies
Design
Prospective observational study
Follow-up
Within 24 h after placental delivery
Key result
Pregnant women with GDM had higher average glucose levels during the intrapartum and early postpartum periods compared to non-diabetic pregnancies (95.5 vs. 89.1 mg/dL, P=0.008).

Observational (n=124)
Do pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus have different intrapartum and early postpartum glucose profiles compared to women with non-diabetic pregnancies?
Absolute Event Rate: 95.5% vs 89.1%
p-value: p=0.008
Pregnant women with GDM managed with lifestyle interventions alone exhibit higher early postpartum glucose levels and variability compared to normoglycemic women, suggesting a need for modified postpartum monitoring.
Ding et al. (2022) conducted an observational in Gestational diabetes mellitus (n=124). Gestational diabetes mellitus vs. Non-diabetic pregnancies was evaluated on Average glucose level during the intrapartum and early postpartum periods (p=0.008). Pregnant women with GDM had higher average glucose levels during the intrapartum and early postpartum periods compared to non-diabetic pregnancies (95.5 vs. 89.1 mg/dL, P=0.008).
