Learning Points
• Importance - 17 million diabetics in US + 6 million undiagnosed, 6 – 8% of population• Pathophysiology - A diabetic has metabolic
changes that adversely affect blood vessels• Pregnancy - Accelerates/predisposes these
metabolic derangements.• Treatment - Seeks to minimize maternal and
fetal/neonatal M&M by correcting/compensating for fluctuations in blood glucose.

Overview: Diabetes
• Hyperglycemic state fasting and/or postprandial
• Due to relative/absolute deficiency of insulin
• Results in significant changes in intermediary metabolism with striking clinical effects

Type 2 and GDM
• Tissue becomes insulin resistant• Hyperglycemia
– Inhibits glucose uptake– Results in inadequate insulin response– Disrupts pulsatile insulin release– Enhances lipolysis in visceral fat– Increases FFA, increases insulin resistance
• Impaired glucose tolerance elevated FBS and increases PP hyperglycemia

Diabetes in Pregnancy
• Common medical complication
• 2-5% (2.6%) of live births
• 90% are gestational diabetics, White class A1, A2 (GDM & NIDDM)
• 10% are overt diabetics, White class B-H (IDDM)
![Page 12: Diabetes in Pregnancy Martin L Gimovsky MD Division of Maternal Fetal Medicine Newark Beth Israel Medical Center Newark, New Jersey](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649e185503460f94b04d07/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Diabetes and Pregnancy
• Pregnancy is a “diabetogenic state.”
• Placenta has passive control of glucose to fetus, but is impermeable to insulin.
• Maternal intermediary metabolism is under control of hormonal influences that insure fetal needs for glucose are met.
![Page 13: Diabetes in Pregnancy Martin L Gimovsky MD Division of Maternal Fetal Medicine Newark Beth Israel Medical Center Newark, New Jersey](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649e185503460f94b04d07/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Pregnancy as a Diabetogenic State
Increasing glucose (&insulin) demand both maternal and fetal
• Increasing insulin resistance hormone driven • Maternal hyperglycemia fetal excess of nutrients
fetal hyperglycemia & insulinemia, neonatal hypoglycemia
• Teratogenesis• Catabolism consumes energy & oxygen and episodic fetal hypoxemia, results in fetal
hypertension, cardiac remodeling, polycythemia, increased blood viscosity, heart failure, stillbirth
![Page 14: Diabetes in Pregnancy Martin L Gimovsky MD Division of Maternal Fetal Medicine Newark Beth Israel Medical Center Newark, New Jersey](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649e185503460f94b04d07/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Insulin Resistance in Pregnancy
• More insulin demand: Increased basal level and response to blood glucose, increased overall demand for glucose
• Insulin is less efficient (resistance)– HCS, Prolactin, E&P Hyperglycemia
Facilitate a continuous supply of glucose for placental transfer
![Page 15: Diabetes in Pregnancy Martin L Gimovsky MD Division of Maternal Fetal Medicine Newark Beth Israel Medical Center Newark, New Jersey](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649e185503460f94b04d07/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Effect of Pregnancy Hormones on Maternal Carbohydrate Metabolism
HCS = decreases glucose tolerance
Prolactin = insulin resistance
Glucocorticoids = glycogenolysis, gluconeogenesis
![Page 16: Diabetes in Pregnancy Martin L Gimovsky MD Division of Maternal Fetal Medicine Newark Beth Israel Medical Center Newark, New Jersey](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649e185503460f94b04d07/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Overview: Management of Diabetes
• Dietary modifications– Caloric content, distribution of food types,
frequency of meals, snacks in context of “Glycemic Index, Load”
• Interventional Exercise
• Insulin
• Oral hypoglycemics
![Page 23: Diabetes in Pregnancy Martin L Gimovsky MD Division of Maternal Fetal Medicine Newark Beth Israel Medical Center Newark, New Jersey](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649e185503460f94b04d07/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Considerations in Diabetic Diet
• Kcal/kg/d (30 kcal/kg/d) • CHO=50%, Protein 25%, Fat 25% (ADA
2002)• Decrease kcal for BMI > 30, increase for
BMI<25 (ADA 2002)• Low glycemic foods (slow absorption) • Avoid nocturnal hypoglycemia• Avoid ketonemia
![Page 25: Diabetes in Pregnancy Martin L Gimovsky MD Division of Maternal Fetal Medicine Newark Beth Israel Medical Center Newark, New Jersey](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649e185503460f94b04d07/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
•Pro: Measures how rapidly BG is elevated in response to eating a specific food.
•Con: Values not necessarily reflective of how foods are really consumed
•Total calories may be more important
Glycemic Index

Oral Hypoglycemics
• Second Generation (Pregnancy category B)
– Glyburide, Glipizide, Glimepride – Biguanides Metformin
• Fast Acting Secretagogues, and Sensitizers
Short duration of action

Oral Hypoglycemics
• Glyburide– Rx of adult onset diabetes– Transplacental dose small– No known fetotoxicity, teratogenicity– Effect is mildly hypoglycemic to gravida and
fetus– Dosed by BMI >< 25 2.5mgs, 5 mgs– Similar effect to a 70:30 mix (NPH:Reg)

• Fetal Testing: 28-32 wks BPP, NST 2X

• Timing of delivery: term or close
• Confirmation of fetal lung maturity

• Increased glucose is catabolized consumes energy & oxygen.
• The greater the fluctuation in BS, the more fetal hyperglycemia & hyperinsulinemia
• Decrease testing intervals in A2 or >, test twice weekly after 30-32 weeks
• Can reduce the risk
Fetal Demise in-Utero

Traumatic Birth & Shoulder Dystocia
• Risk is > for diabetic fetus/neonate, at any EGA• Suspected macrosomia- size>dates by FH, EFW>
4500 gms (Tech Bull # 30, 2001)• Induction or prophylactic C/S unlikely to reduce
the rate of permanent injury• By ultrasound EFW above 4500, actual bwt for ½
is within 10% of estimate• At EFW 4500 gms, then estimate 333 – 1667 C/S
to prevent a single permanent Erb’s palsy

Respiratory Distress Syndrome
• Abnormal timing of phospholipid production delay in PG+
• Higher levels of myoinositol persistence of PI+
• PG/PI less favorable at same EGA• Effect is magnified with mean plasma
glucose > 110 mgs• < 38.5 wks w/amnio; >38.5 with > 3% PG

Intrapartum Decisions
@ 40 wks with good control @ 38 with PG:PI
Active phase must be adequate• Protracted descent best managed by C/S• Avoid mid-pelvic operative delivery absolutely• Outlet/low pelvic delivery with great care• Liberal use of C/S

Conclusions
• Regulation of blood glucose needs to begin prior to conception for best result.
• Treatment includes diet, exercise, oral hypoglycemics and insulin.
• Comorbidities- Obesity, HBP, CAD
• Fetal growth and well being, timing of delivery require attention in 3rd trimester.
