“…Indeed, prior gestational hyperglycemia in the absence of fulfilling the overt criteria for GDM results in a future risk of metabolic syndrome 2-4 times that of those with normoglycemia in pregnancy. This risk is 10 times higher in women with concomitant pre-pregnancy obesity (Bo et al, 2004a). Thus, even mild gestational hyperglycemia predicts metabolic syndrome (Bo et al, 2004b), and metabolic syndrome is increasingly more likely to develop over time following the index pregnancy (Bo et al, 2006).…”

“…Recently (2004), on the contrary, Bo et al reported a prevalence of metabolic syndrome higher in one abnormal value and gestational diabetes patients compared to controls. Furthermore, the prevalence of LGA was significantly higher in these women compared to controls notwithstanding the diet treatment [24].…”

Diagnosis of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) requires at least two or more values to be abnormal on the 3 h-100 g oral glucose tolerance test: but how to care for pregnant women with only one abnormal glucose value remains a point of discussion. In fact, although a large number of studies on this argument exist, the clinical significance of "one abnormal value" has yet to be clarified. Our review of previous studies and personal experience on prevalence, metabolic findings and maternal-fetal outcome suggests this pregnancy induced carbohydrate intolerance is a continuum with GDM, associated with an increased incidence of materno-fetal complications. For this reason we believe that it should be diagnosed, monitored and treated.

Pregnancy and obesity: practical implications

Obesity is presently the most prevalent health threat in the western world, and its influence on general health is rapidly increasing. Obesity has also developed as a major and frequent risk factor for pregnancy complications. Complications often encountered in obese pregnant women are hypertensive disorders, gestational diabetes mellitus, caesarean section, and postpartum and postoperative infections. The incidence of pulmonary embolism and primary postpartum haemorrhage is most likely also increased. Anaesthetic complications are more frequent. Neonatal consequences of obesity include an increased rate of congenital anomalies, stillbirth, and macrosomia. This article focuses on practical implications of obesity in pregnancy and childbirth for the caregiver.
