Abstract

Background: The increasing prevalence of type 2 diabetes in general and in younger people in particular has led to an increasing numbers of pregnancies with the complication of gestational hyperglycaemias. All complications associated with gestational hyperglycaemias are potentially preventable. The aim of this study is to monitor longitudinal changes in blood glucose levels in pregnancy and to co-relate it with various maternal and foetal outcomes. Material and Methods: The study was conducted in 93 pregnant women. Venous blood was collected and post prandial blood glucose (PP2BG) level was estimated by glucose oxidase-peroxidase enzyme method once in every trimester. Pregnancy outcomes including the mode of delivery (spontaneous vaginal delivery or assisted delivery), birth weight of the baby and the neonatal morbidity like asphyxia, hypoglycaemias were noted.
