Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The main objective of the study is to estimate and compare the percentage of patients with abnormal glucose metabolism at 4-12 weeks postpartum between two groups: patients diagnosed with gestational diabetes before or after 24 weeks of pregnancy. Abnormal glucose metabolism is defined as type 2 diabetes, glucose intolerance or impaired fasting glucose.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The secondary objectives of this study are to compare between the two groups:

A. the rate of type 2 diabetes only, glucose intolerance only, impaired fasting glucose only, and patients requiring insulin at 4-12 weeks postpartum

B. rates of maternal and obstetric complications

C. risk factors (age, body mass index, personal history of gestational diabetes or macrosomia, first degree family history of diabetes).

D. For fasting glucose done before 24SA, we will calculate the optimal threshold for predicting abnormal glucose metabolism in the immediate postpartum period among women with gestational diabetes.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

GD diagnosis before 24 weeks

Patients in this group are diagnosed with gestational diabetes (GD) before 24 weeks of amenorrhea by means of a fasting blood glucose test \>= 0.92 g/l.

Intervention: Post-partum oral glucose tolerance test

Post-partum oral glucose tolerance test

Intervention Type BIOLOGICAL

All patients will have an oral glucose tolerance test at 4 to 12 weeks after the end of pregnancy. Study representatives will contact patients by phone to remind them of the necessity of this test, and its importance for their health.

GD diagnosed at 24 to 28 weeks

Patients in this group are diagnosed with gestational diabetes between 24 and 28 weeks of amenorrhea based on a normal fasting blood glucose level before 24 weeks of amenorrhea AND an abnormal oral glucose tolerance test between 24 and 28 weeks of amenorrhea.

Intervention: Post-partum oral glucose tolerance test

Post-partum oral glucose tolerance test

Intervention Type BIOLOGICAL

All patients will have an oral glucose tolerance test at 4 to 12 weeks after the end of pregnancy. Study representatives will contact patients by phone to remind them of the necessity of this test, and its importance for their health.
