Analysis on Family History of Diabetes, Weight Gain during Pregnancy and Pre-pregnancy Body Mass Index on 82 Pregnant Women with Gestational Diabetes Mellitus

Abstract

Objective: To investigate the effects of family history of diabetes mellitus, Gestational Weight Gain (GWG) and Body Mass Index (BMI) before pregnancy on Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM). Method: 82 pregnant women with GDM who were hospitalized and delivered in the obstetrics department of our hospital from September 2017 to September 2019 were selected as the observation group, and 60 pregnant women with normal glucose tolerance test in the same period were selected as the control group; The relationship between family history of diabetes, weight gain during pregnancy and pre-pregnancy Body Mass Index and GDM were analyzed. Results: The age, pre-pregnancy weight and weight gain during pregnancy were significantly higher in the observation group than in the control group (P < 0.05), and the family history of diabetes and pre-pregnancy Body Mass Index were higher in the observation group than in the control group (P < 0.05), and the differences were statistically significant. Conclusion: It is suggested that family history of diabetes is related to gestational diabetes mellitus. Excessive GWG growth during pregnancy and high Body Mass Index before pregnancy may increase the risk of gestational diabetes mellitus in pregnant women.
