Abstract In this centre women with a history of gestational diabetes (GDM) are treated without rescreening from early pregnancy in any subsequent pregnancies, commencing with a low glycaemic diet and insulin if and when indicated. The objective of this study was to see if this practice reduced the incidence of macrosomia compared with the index pregnancy. The analysis was confined to women who required insulin in the subsequent pregnancy. Among 369 women who were prospectively identified with a history of previous GDM, 95 required insulin- the study cohort. Insulin treatment was commenced at an earlier gestation in the subsequent pregnancy. The incidence of macrosomia was significantly less in the subsequent pregnancy in the group of women who required insulin in both pregnancies (p=0.02).This data suggests early treatment is of benefit to this high risk group in the reduction of macrosomia. |
