    Prediabetic pregnant women exhibit altered glucose metabolism and hyperinsulinemia, indicating early pancreatic dysfunction. These findings highlight potential liver function disturbances in prediabetic pregnancies.

    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Obstetrics
    • Metabolic Disorders

    Background:

    • Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) poses risks to both mother and fetus.
    • Early identification of carbohydrate metabolism disturbances in pregnancy is crucial for timely intervention.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate carbohydrate metabolism and pancreatic function in pregnant women with normal glucose tolerance, prediabetes, and diabetes.
    • To assess liver function parameters in these groups.

    Main Methods:

    • Oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTT) were performed on 50 normal, 25 prediabetic, and 25 diabetic pregnant women.
    • Insulin-glucose tolerance tests, fasting studies, and tolbutamide sensitivity tests were conducted.
    • Serum inorganic phosphorus, potassium, and alkaline phosphatase levels were measured.

    Main Results:

    • Prediabetic pregnancies showed blunted glucose tolerance curves (flat-topped) due to delayed insulin secretion and hyperinsulinemia, particularly during fasting.
    • Diabetic pregnancies exhibited peaked glucose tolerance curves.
    • Prediabetic and diabetic groups demonstrated impaired liver function, more pronounced in the diabetic group.

    Conclusions:

    • Prediabetic pregnant women display distinct metabolic profiles, including hyperinsulinemia and altered glucose tolerance, suggesting early pancreatic and liver dysfunction.
    • These findings underscore the importance of monitoring carbohydrate metabolism in pregnancy to detect and manage prediabetic states.
