The increased risk of perinatal morbidity and mortality has been linked to gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). GDM affects about 7% of all pregnancies in the United States. It is critical to diagnose gestational diabetes mellitus in order to identify both children at risk of unfavourable outcomes and women at risk of diabetes later in life. The goal of this study was to see if there was a link between serum iron, phosphorous, and haemoglobin levels in women with gestational diabetes mellitus who had carbohydrate tolerance and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).
Methods: A total of
100 pregnant women between the ages of 24 and 28 weeks were screened for
glucose tolerance and gestational diabetes mellitus. Fasting glucose, post-load
glucose, serum iron, serum phosphorous, and haemoglobin were all measured in
all 100 pregnant women in this study. The study was conducted in partnership
with the biochemistry department of the OBG department.
In this
investigation, the prevalence of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus was discovered
to be 8%. Both fasting and post-serum glucose levels are excessively high in
women with Gestational Diabetes Mellitus. Mothers with gestational diabetes
mellitus have a greater serum iron level, which is connected to carbohydrate
tolerance, according to our findings. However, there was no relationship
between phosphorus and haemoglobin levels in GDM moms.
