Q

what happens with the insulin resistance in the body during a normal pregnancy ?

A

increase of maternal adiposity and cortisol production from placenta leads to insulin resistance.
it is an adaptation in the 2nd trimester that leads to the use of more fat than CHO for energy and spares the CHO for the fetus.

A

throughout the whole pregnancy and BEFORE TOO!

Q

give advice for type 1 management with pre existing diabetes and what to do to reduce risk?

ASA to reduce risk of preeclampsia.

CGM should be considered because ti decrease LGA and nicu stay and neonatal hypoglycemia.

Q

when is the universal screening for GDM done?

A

24-28 weeks of gestational age

screen earlier if risk factors for GDM and then rescreen at 24 weeks if - the first time

Q

what is the process for early screening for women at high risk for T2DM ?

A

screen with A2C in first trimester
if A1C is greater than 6.5 or FBG is more than 7 we treat like t2nm
and then confirm diagnosis after birth

17
Q

according to the 2018 GDM approaches:

explain the preferred approach

A

NO FASTING
50 g glucose challenge with PG 1 hour later
if the result is between 7.8 and 11 then there is a 75 g OGTT measure, FBG 1hPG and 2hPG and then if the value is above the standards then GDM

if after the glucose challenge you have higher than 11, its GDM
if after the glucose challenge you have less than 7.8 then you reassess at 24 weeks if needed

18
Q

according to the 2018 GDM approaches:

explain the alternative approach

A 
FASTING
75 g OGTT, measure FBG, 1hPG, 2hPG 
if FBG is greater than 5.1 
if 1h is greater than 10 
if 2h is greater than 8.5 t
if any of these are met, then there is GDM
19
Q

what are the blood glucose targets that you want for FBG, 1H AND 2H

how long do you have to get these targets in control?

A

FBG: less than 5.3
1H: less than 7.8
2h: less than 6.7

if you cant achieve within 1-2 weeks: start meds

20
Q

what are the blood glucose levels if on insulin if fasting and HS insulin, and 1h post meal with meal time insulin

how much insulin do youstart with?

A

FG is on HS insulin: 4.2-4.7

1h post meal with insulin at meal: 5.5-7.2

give 4 unites of long lasting in the evening and adjust accordingly.

21
Q

how do you manage GDM ? what is the first line and second line of meds

A

first line is insulin so can use aspart, lispro, glulisine
second is metformin and can be used as alternative
–its safe, evidence of les maternal weight gain and less big babies, less baby hypo

22
Q

when can you use glyburide in GDM?

A

may be used for those who refuse insulin and not well controlled on metformin

23
Q

how soon should a nutrition intervention occur from diagnosis of GDM

A

within 48 hours and then 3 other visits during pregnancy.

24
Q

how should the weight gain during pregnancy occur?

A

it should be progressive and not all at once.

most weight gained in the UW or normal BMI category.

25
Q

what is the recommended weekly rate of weight gain in the 2 and 3 trimester for 1 baby in UW, NW, OW, OB

A

UW: 0.5 kg
NW: 0.4
OW: 0.3
OB:0.2

26
Q

how much kcal are women storing during pregnancy in BMI groups?

A

UW: 360 kcal as fat tissue
NW: 240 kcal/day
ow: 165 KCAL
ob: do not store but instead mobilize 260 kcal from adipose tissue

27
Q

what is the energy EER gain needed per trimester?

A

1: 0
2: 340
3: 454

28
Q

according to the rule of thumb: what is the energy requirement?

A

UW: 35-40 kcal
NW: 30-34
OW: 25-29
OB: less than 24

29
Q

what is the nutrition intervention for GDM

A

1) eating small frequent meals to spread the CHO loads.
2) include protein at every meal and snack to stabilize the BG
3) and minimum of 175 g of cho per day

30
Q

what would you recommend when wanting to have desserts with GDM?

A

limit the intake but if having, take in small quantitie and eat where protein and fibre can also be found in the meal and that can help the rising BG

31
Q

what type of glycemic index foods will we recommend?

A

we would recommend the low glycemic index food choices.

even low ones can raise BG levels above the targets that we want for GMD

32
Q

what meal of the day would you NOT recommend fruit, cereal and milk products?

A

bedtime snack or breakfast

33
Q

what is a bedtime snack proposition to help with GDM

A

no cereal, fruit or dairy before bed as it can raise morning BG alot

  • should be eaten as late as possible so no more than 8 hours between bed time snack and breakfast
34
Q

what is the relation between GDM and PA ?

A

it is inversely proportional

- risk reduction by half if PA prior to and early on in pregnancy.

35
Q

what are some benefits fo PA with GDM

A

improves glycemic control
helps with weight control
improves the insulin sensitivity

36
Q

when should PA be done for GDM?

A

1 hour after meals

10 min after a meal helps BG more so than 30 min of PA any other time of the day

37
Q

what are the glycemic targets during labour and delivery ? why?

A

between 4 and 7

to avoid neonatal hypoglycemia

38
Q

what is the recommendation for GDM postpartum?

A

breastfeed immediately after to avoid neonatal hypoglycemia.
and for at least 3-4 months to prevent obesity and diabetes in the offsrpting and to rreduce T2DM and HTn in mother

39
Q

what type of test is done postparturm for GDM?

A

27 g oral glucose tolerance test.

between 6 weeks and 6 months after.

40
Q

what are the results of the OGTT postpartum?

A

if normal, then healthy behaviour intervention

if impaired: healthy behaviour with metformin maybe

if t2dm: healthy behaviour and metformin and maybe insulin
