Prevention of gestational diabetes mellitus: a review of studies on weight management

Abstract: Entering pregnancy with overweight, obesity or gaining excessive gestational weight could increase the risk of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), which is associated with negative consequences for both the mother and the offspring. The objective of this article was to review scientific evidence regarding the association between obesity and GDM, and how weight management through nutritional prevention strategies could prove successful in reducing the risk for GDM. Studies published between January 1975 and Ja… Show more

“…Interestingly, less weight gain in pregnancy predicted GDM in late pregnancy according to both the WHO and the modified IADPSG criteria. This observation contradicts common wisdom and the vast majority of scientific reports in which increased weight gain has been reported to be associated with GDM (26,27,28,29,30). One report, however, supports our finding (31).…”

“…23 In addition, weight loss may also limit the risk of developing gestational diabetes. 24 The association between weight loss and subsequent cancer risk is less clear. Most evidence has been derived from breast cancer studies, in which weak or null associations were observed.…”

“…Therefore we concluded that an increased BMI is an important factor for the severity of glucose intolerance. Several studies performed by Buchanan et al 18 , Metzger et al 13 and Morissette AS et al 19 demonstrated that a high BMI is a risk factor for GDM. However, Riskin-Mashiah et al 20 conducted a multivariate analysis in their study and found a significant relationship only between pre-pregnancy BMI and maternal hypererglisemia.…”
