Abstract
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is an impaired capacity to metabolize carbohydrates throughout pregnancy; its occurrence is increasing in around 20-27% globally. Therefore, it is of interest to know the hyperlipidemia levels at 12-14 weeks with GDM. 100 patients were assessed with the help of history, general, systemic, antenatal and routine examination along with follow-up at 20 weeks for Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT) investigation. Data shows that triglyceride, total cholesterol, and HDL levels showed significant predictors of development of GDM as the p value was <0.05. Although GDM is linked to surgical deliveries and foetal problems such as macrosomia yet more studies are recommended to validate the data.
Keywords
