Q

Describe the risks associated w/ mismanaged diabetes (gestational/DMI, DMII) during pregnancy

A

Fetal macrosomia:
-fetus gets too much sugar, fetus larger than normal
-High sugar → larger fetal pancreas/more insulin → more fat on fetus
-Higher risk of traumatic births, C sections

Immediate postpartum hypoglycemia:
-Baby is used to high-sugar environment, making lots of insulin at birth
-Baby will eventually adapt

Q

Describe the steps of the OGTT–what does it test?

A

-Gestational diabetes

Step one: BG drawn one hour after 50mg glucose drink. If BG >130, do step two

Step two: BG drawn at 1, 2, and 3 hours after chugging 100g glucose drink. If 2 of those BG > 130 –> gestational diabetes dx
