Circadian Variation in the Response to the Glucose Challenge Test in Pregnancy

چکیده
OBJECTIVE A common approach to screening for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is the universal testing of all pregnant women with a 1-h, 50-g glucose challenge test (GCT), followed by a diagnostic oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) in those in whom the GCT is positive (≥7.8 mmol/L). More important, the GCT is performed at any time of day, but there has been limited study of the effect of time of day on test performance. Thus, using their subsequent OGTT (performed in the morning), we sought to characterize the metabolic function of women with positive GCTs in relation to the timing of their test. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS A total of 927 women with positive GCTs underwent a 3-h 100-g OGTT. They were stratified into four groups by time of day (hours) of their GCT: <0900 (n = 171), 0900-1059 (n = 288), 1100-1259 (n = 189), and ≥1300 (n = 279). RESULTS On the OGTT, the prevalence of GDM progressively decreased across the GCT groups from <0900 h (26.9%) to 0900-1059 h (25.0%) to 1100-1259 h (21.7%) to ≥1300 h (21.5%; P = 0.0022). After adjustment for GDM risk factors, mean adjusted glucose area under the curve (AUC(gluc)) similarly decreased across the groups, while insulin sensitivity (Matsuda index) and β-cell function (Insulin Secretion-Sensitivity Index-2) progressively increased (all P < 0.0001). In particular, compared with the <0900- and 0900-1059-h groups, women whose positive GCT occurred after 1300 h had superior metabolic function, as evidenced by lower AUC(gluc), higher insulin sensitivity, and better β-cell function (all P ≤ 0.0097). CONCLUSIONS Among women with a positive GCT, those tested in the afternoon have better metabolic function and a lower risk of GDM on subsequent OGTT.

Introduction: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is defined as carbohydrate intolerance occurring or detected for the first time during pregnancy. Hypertension occurring as a result of pregnancy is called pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH), which is itself divided into two groups: gestational hypertension and pre-eclampsia. The aim of this study is to compare the incidence of hypertensive ...

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is the most common metabolic disorder during pregnancy which is associated with 3 to 4 folds of increase in the risk of maternal and fetal morbidity, if it is not diagnosed early (1). Gestational diabetes occurs from 1% to 14%, and 90% of pregnancy-related diabetes has been related to gestational diabetes (2). Glucose challenge test (GCT) and glucose toleranc...
