Universal early pregnancy HbA1c appears feasible as an early screening test for women at risk of hyperglycaemia in pregnancy and would expedite and increase screening in Aboriginal women compared to an early OGTT (Primary Care Diabetes)

Prediction model for the onset risk of impaired fasting glucose: a 10-year longitudinal retrospective cohort health check-up study
The prediction model for the onset risk of IFG had good predictive ability in the health check-up cohort (BMC Endocrine Disorders)
Effect of Maternal Metformin Treatment in Pregnancy on Neonatal Metabolism: Evidence From Newborn Metabolic Screening
We have identified subtle (nonpathological) changes in neonatal metabolism that represent a signature effect of fetal metformin exposure (Diabetes Care)
Efficacy of continuous glucose monitoring on maternal and neonatal outcomes in gestational diabetes mellitus: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials
Women with GDM using CGM may achieve lower average blood glucose levels, lower maternal weight gain and infant birth weight than women using BGM. Nevertheless, current evidence is limited by the low number of studies and the small sample sizes of these studies. Larger clinical trials are needed to better understand the effects of CGM in GDM (Diabetic Medicine)
Increased risk for microvascular complications among women with gestational diabetes in the third trimester The Microalbuminuria and Retinopathy in Gestational Diabetes (MARIGOLD) Study
Women with gestational diabetes have an increased risk of microalbuminuria in the third trimester, despite having been exposed to only a brief period of overt hyperglycaemia (Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice)
Effect of Maternal Metformin Treatment in Pregnancy on Neonatal Metabolism: Evidence From Newborn Metabolic Screening
We have identified subtle (nonpathological) changes in neonatal metabolism that represent a signature effect of fetal metformin exposure (Diabetes Care)
Association of maternal diabetes during pregnancy with high refractive error in offspring: a nationwide population-based cohort study
Our findings suggest that maternal diabetes during pregnancy is associated with an increased risk of high RE in offspring, in particular among those of mothers with diabetic complications (Diabetologia)
Reappearance of C-Peptide During the Third Trimester of Pregnancy in Type 1 Diabetes: Pancreatic Regeneration or Fetal Hyperinsulinism?
First maternal C-peptide appearance at 34 weeks was associated with midtrimester hyperglycemia, elevated cord blood C-peptide, and high rates of neonatal complications. This suggests transfer of C-peptide from fetal to maternal serum and is inconsistent with pregnancy-related β-cell regeneration (Diabetes Care)
Clinical characteristics, gestational weight gain and pregnancy outcomes in women with a history of gestational diabetes mellitus
Women with prior GDM have glucose and lipid metabolism disorders in the 1st trimester. Limited reduction of GWG before oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was insufficient to offset the adverse effects of glucose and lipid metabolism disorders in women with previous GDM (Diabetology & Metabolic Syndrome)
Effectiveness of antidiabetic agents for treatment of gestational diabetes: A methodological quality assessment of meta-analyses and network meta-analysis
This review study of available literature shows that metformin can be a superior option in most neonatal and maternal adverse pregnancy outcomes in women with gestational diabetes mellitus; the results need to be further updated by including future more qualified studies (Journal of Diabetes Investigation)
Reducing weight and BMI following gestational diabetes: a systematic review and meta-analysis of digital and telemedicine interventions
In summary, this systematic review demonstrated the point estimate of the effect of the intervention on weight and BMI has potential to be clinically relevant but was not statistically significant (BMJ Open, Diabetes Research & Care)
Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy: association with glycaemic control in gestational diabetes
Under the current treatment guidelines, ICP is not associated with clinically significant changes in glycaemic control in GDM. Significantly more women with both GDM and ICP developed preeclampsia (Diabetic Medicine)
Two decades since the fetal insulin hypothesis: what have we learned from genetics?
In summary, there is now ample evidence to support the idea that variants of certain genes which result in impaired pancreatic beta cell function and reduced insulin secretion contribute to both lower birthweight and higher type 2 diabetes risk in later life when inherited by the fetus (Diabetologia)
Characteristics and outcomes of pregnant women with type 1 or type 2 diabetes: a 5-year national population-based cohort study
Our data highlight persistent adverse pregnancy outcomes in women with type 1 or type 2 diabetes. Maternal glycaemia and BMI are the key modifiable risk factors. No maternity clinics were had appreciably better outcomes than any others, suggesting that health-care system changes are needed across all clinics (The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology)
Association between maternal triglycerides and disturbed glucose metabolism in pregnancy
Hypertriglyceridemia at the start of pregnancy is closely related to impaired insulin action and β-cell function. Women with hypertriglyceridemia have higher mean glucose levels in early- and mid-gestation. Pregnant women with elevated triglycerides in early pregnancy are at increased risk of developing gestational diabetes (Acta Diabetologica)
Endocrinology in the time of COVID-19: Diagnosis and management of gestational diabetes mellitus
We suggest pragmatic options for screening of GDM in a pandemic setting based on blood tests, and risk calculators applied to underlying risk factors (European Journal of Endocrinology)
Type 1 and type 2 diabetes after gestational diabetes: a 23 year cohort study
All women with GDM should be intensively monitored for a decade, after which the risk for type 1 diabetes is minimal. However, the incidence of type 2 diabetes remains linear, and therefore individualised lifelong follow-up is recommended (Diabetologia)
Metformin in women with type 2 diabetes in pregnancy (MiTy): a multicentre, international, randomised, placebo-controlled trial
We found several maternal glycaemic and neonatal adiposity benefits in the metformin group. Along with reduced maternal weight gain and insulin dosage and improved glycaemic control, the lower adiposity and infant size measurements resulted in fewer large infants but a higher proportion of small-for-gestational-age infants (The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology)
