Abstract:

Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) occurs in 1–14% of pregnancies. The role of insulin resistance (IR) in the pathophysology, as well as in the polycystic over syndrome (PCOS) and metabolic syndrome (MS). This is why these three clinical conditions are believed to be related to each other. Materials and Methods: In this study, 27 women diagnosed with GDM and 30 healthy women were compared in terms of PCOS, MS and IR. Results: Weight and body mass index (BMI) in the GDM group was higher than the control group of the back and back surroundings (respectively 69.0±11,5 kg vs 62.0±10,3 kg, p:0,01; 27.0±4,7 kg/m2 vs 23.0±3,5 kg/m2, p:0,001; 82.0±8,5 cm vs 74.0±7,5 cm, p<0,001; 103.0±8,1 cm vs 98.0±8,7 cm, p:0,02). The MS frequency was statistically significantly higher than the control group in the GDM group. The number of patients with high bacterial surroundings, blood pressure, hunger blood sugar and triglyceride levels was higher than the control group (55.6 percent vs. 20 percent, p:0,006 percent, 18.5 percent vs. 0 percent, p:0,01 percent, 29.6 percent vs. 6.7 percent, p:0,02 percent, 48.1 percent vs. 10 percent, p: 0.002 percent, respectively). In terms of HDL cholesterol levels, there is no statistical difference between the groups (p>0,05). When the limit value for HOMA was 2.24, more insulin resistance than the control group in the GDM group was detected respectively (48.1% vs. 20.0% respectively, p: 0.02). The result: as in GDM, the common problem in MS and PCOS is IR. As shown in many studies, in our study, MS was found higher in the GDM group. Therefore, patients with GDM history should be scaned for metabolic syndrome.
