Gestational weight gain in women with type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus is related to both general and diabetes-related clinical characteristics.
Hormones : International Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism 2023 October 17
PURPOSE: To assess predictors of gestational weight gain (GWG), according to the Institute of Medicine (IOM) 2009, in women with type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
METHODS: This was a retrospective cohort study conducted at a tertiary center. GWG based on the IOM was assessed both uncorrected and corrected for gestational age. General and diabetes-related clinical characteristics were analyzed as predictors.
RESULTS: We evaluated 633 pregnant women with type 1 and type 2 diabetes. GWG uncorrected for gestational age was inadequate (iGWG) in 20.4%, adequate in 37.1%, and excessive (eGWG) in 42.5% of the women. Predictors included general (height, prepregnancy body mass index category, and multiple pregnancy) and diabetes-related clinical characteristics. Neuropathy and follow-up length were associated with iGWG (odds ratio (OR) 3.00, 95% CI 1.22-7.37; OR 0.92, 95% CI 0.86-0.97, respectively), while pump use and third-trimester insulin dose were associated with eGWG (OR 1.68, 95% CI 1.07-2.66; OR 3.64, 95% CI 1.88-7.06, respectively). Independent predictors for corrected GWG and sensitivity analyses also included general and diabetes-related clinical characteristics.
CONCLUSION: In this cohort of women with type 1 and type 2 diabetes, non-adequate GWG was common, mainly due to eGWG, and associated clinical characteristics were both general and diabetes-related. Current clinical care of these women during pregnancy may favor weight gain.
