Screening all pregnant women for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) between 24-28 weeks is recommended. Serum fructosamine levels may aid in identifying and managing GDM alongside glucose testing.

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Endocrinology
  • Perinatal Medicine

Background:

  • Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) affects 3-6% of pregnancies.
  • GDM is linked to adverse outcomes like macrosomia, birth trauma, and cesarean delivery.
  • Neonatal complications including hyperbilirubinemia, hypocalcemia, and hypoglycemia are more frequent in GDM.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To recommend universal screening for GDM at 24-28 weeks of gestation.
  • To explore the utility of serum fructosamine levels in GDM management.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature and clinical guidelines for GDM screening.
  • Evaluation of plasma glucose levels and serum fructosamine as diagnostic markers.

Main Results:

  • Universal screening for GDM is advised for improved perinatal outcomes.
  • Serum fructosamine may offer a valuable additional measure for glycemic control assessment.

Conclusions:

  • Early identification and management of GDM are crucial for better maternal and neonatal health.
  • Serum fructosamine represents a promising biomarker for enhancing GDM diagnosis and management strategies.
