Q

Summary of DM in pregnancy

A 
Wt loss for BMI >27
Stop oral hypoglycaemic apart from metformin
Commence insulin
Folic acid 5mg preconception until 12wk
Aspirin 75mg/d from 12wk
Detailed anomaly scan 20w (4 chamber and outflow tracts)
Serial scans every 4 weeks 28-36
Tight control reduces complication rate 
Treat retinopathy
17
Q

PACES counselling of DM in pregnancy

A

Risk: maternal (retino/nephropahty, traumatic birth, htn, macrosomia, neonatal hypo, risk surgical delivery
high dose folic acid and aspirin
growth scans 28-36wks

18
Q

GDM Ix

A

Glycosuria on dipstick at routine care indicates need for further testing:
- If RF present do 2hr 75g
OGTT at 24-48 wks

19
Q

RF for GDM

A 
Obesity
prev macrosomic baby (>4.5kg)
Hx GDM
FHx DM
Ethnic minority
20
Q

If GDM in previous pregnancy

A

Early self monitoring
2 hour 75g OGTT as soon as poss after booking (16weeks)
If normal repeat at 24-28wk

21
Q

Diagnostic for GDM

A

Fasting glucose >5.6
2 hour OGTT >7.8mmol/L
If diagnosed review at joint DM and antenatal clinic within 1wk

22
Q

Mx of GDM

A 
Good control reduces macrosomia, trauma, induction, surgery, perinatal death
1st line (fasting <7) = lifestyle
2nd line (if target not met after 1-2 weeks) = metformin
3rd line = add insulin`
23
Q

Lifestyle changes in GDM

A

Low GI foods
Dietician ref.
regular exercise

24
Q

Fasting glucose >7mmol/L what do

A

Offer insulin straight away

25
Q

If fasting gluose 6-6.9 w/Cx what should you do?

A

Cx e.g. macrosomia
Offer insulin straight away
consider glibenclamide

26
Q

Antenatal Monitoring blood glucose for (G)DM

A

T1DM: test fasting, premeal, 1hr postmeal and bedtime daily
T2DM or GDM on multiple daily insulin: fasting, premeal, 1hr postmeal and bedtime daily
T2DM or GDM on cons./metformin: fasting an 1hr post meal daily`

27
Q

Targets for blood glucose in pregnant women w/DM

A

Fasting: <5.3
1 hour post meal: <7.8
2 hour post: <6.4
If using glibenclamide keep BM >4

28
Q

HbA1c in pregnancy

A

Measure at booking for preexisting DM to determine risk
Consider measuring during T2+3 for pre-existing DM
Risk increases if >48
Measure at time of Dx in GDM and undiagnosed T2
NOT routinely offered during T2-3

29
Q

Managing diabetes during pregnancy

A

Advise risks of hypo
Offer continuous sc. insulin if multiple daily insulin insuff.
NOT routinely continuous glucose monitoring (only if struggling to achieve control)
Retinal assessment if preexisting DM
Offer USS FG and AFV every 4wks from 28-36wks
Appointments 2wkly

30
Q

Intrapartum care in (G)DM

A

T1/2DM elective birth but induction or C-sec 37-39weeks
<37wk birth if complications
GDM birth no later than 40+6
Capillary glucose every hour during labour and birth (maintain 4-7mmol)

31
Q

Postnatal care in (G)DM

A

Increased risk of hypo (snack before feed)
GDM: discontinue glucose lowering treatment immediately
Test glucose for persistent hypergly.

32
Q

If glucose returns to normal after birth in (G)DM

A

Lifestyle advice
Fasting glucose 6-13wk pp to exclude DM
Offer HbA1c if not tested by 13wk

33
Q

If glucose does NOT return to normal after birth in (G)DM

A

<6 - low probability of DM, annual test, mod. risk developing DM
6-6.9: high risk DM
>7 likely DM offer test to confirm

34
Q

Risk of developing DM in women w/GDM

A

3-7x higher chance of developing T2DM

greatest risk first 5y

35
Q

Summary of GDM

A
  1. Joint DM/AN clinic within 1wk
  2. taught self monitoring BM
  3. Lifestyle advice
  4. Fasting <7 -> trial diet/ex.
  5. if not in targets after 2 weeks + metformin
  6. If still not met +insulin
  7. If at time of Dx BG>7 -> insulin
  8. If glucose 6-6.9+evidence of Cx -> insulin
    If metformin not tolerated glibenclamide
36
Q

PACES counselling of GDM

A

RF:age, (F)Hx, obesity, multiple preg. asian
Dx: cant produce enough insulin to meet demands of baby
Epi: 2-3% pregnancies
Risks:
- Mat: htn, traumatic birth, stillbirth
- Foet: macrosomia, neonatal hypo
Treatment options: lifestyle metformin, insulin glibenclamide
Explain glucometer
Will need to be seen at joint DM/AN clinic in a week and every 2 weeks after
4 weekly USS 28-36 weeks
Medication r/v after birth
