Ellen Seely, MD, Director of Clinical Research in the Division of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Hypertension at Brigham and Women’s Hospital discusses the health risks associated with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) during and after pregnancy. Dr. Seely also describes Balance After Baby, a web-based program designed to educate women on eating healthfully and increasing their physical activity, with the goal of helping them lose their pregnancy weight within a year of giving birth.

GDM is a type of diabetes that occurs only in pregnancy. It comes on in the second half of pregnancy and it goes away after delivery. In the US it’s estimated that five percent of all pregnancies are complicated by GDM. The rates of GDM are higher in Hispanic and non-white populations, ranging from ten to 20 percent of all pregnancies.

Obesity is one of the main risk factors for GDM. In the United States, most health centers screen all women for gestational diabetes because obesity is becoming so common in the overall population.

Gestational diabetes can impact the health of the mother and the fetus, as well as the newborn. Women with GDM have an increased risk of preeclampsia, which is a type of high blood pressure that develops during pregnancy. Preeclampsia is a serious condition that can lead to early delivery. Women who have gestational diabetes may also have larger babies, increasing their risk of cesarean section.

While GDM goes away after pregnancy, the health risks persist. Research has found that 50 to 70 percent of women who have gestational diabetes may develop Type 2 diabetes later in life. Research has also found that babies born to mothers with GDM, have a higher birth weight and may become obese during adolescence, increasing their risk of developing diabetes and other conditions such as high blood pressure.

The Pregnancy and Diabetes Program at Brigham and Women’s Hospital offers multidisciplinary care to women with GDM. The program includes a high risk obstetrician, two diabetes specialists, a nutritionist, and a nurse practitioner who is certified in diabetes education. The first approach to treatment is to control blood glucose levels with healthy eating and physical activity. Lifestyle changes, healthy eating and physical activity, are effective in controlling blood glucose levels about 75 percent of women with GDM. If the lifestyle changes don’t work, insulin therapy is started to control a mother’s blood sugar for the rest of her pregnancy.

It can be the happiest time of a woman’s life—but doctors say that joy can be overshadowed by a common medical condition. “It’s very common, unfortunately. As a society we are getting sicker, we are getting obese, and diabetes is on the rise,” said Dr. Ravi Chokshi, an OB/GYN with Lee Health.

Diabetes becomes even more concerning when it’s developed during pregnancy. “There are two types of diabetes during pregnancy that we worry about. One is you’re a diabetic before you became pregnant, and that is a very serious problem that we try to get control of. The other is you’re not a diabetic. You had normal blood testing before. What happens in pregnancy is the placenta that the baby relies on releases hormones that increase your blood sugar,” said Dr. Chokshi.

If the mother becomes diabetic during pregnancy, both the mother and baby are at risk for health concerns. “It actually affects the development of the baby, and it can cause heart defects and brain defects if the sugars aren’t brought under control quickly,” he said.

These concerns are why doctors are screening women for diabetes throughout their pregnancy. “We are actually instituting a policy where almost every patient is going to get some blood sugar test at the start of pregnancy to make sure we’re not missing diabetics who didn’t know they were diabetic,” said Dr. Chokshi.

If a woman is diabetic or becomes diabetic during pregnancy, doctors will help them with diet and medication, if necessary to get their blood sugar under control. “If you have diabetes during pregnancy and we don’t treat it adequately, you’re at a two to three time increased the risk for C-section; you’re at a three to four time increased risk for birth injury,” he explained.

The goal is to catch diabetes early during pregnancy to prevent health concerns for both the mother and baby—both during and after delivery.
