Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 7
Abstract
Gestational diabetes mellitus is a syndrome of disturbed carbohydrate tolerance diagnosed during pregnancy. However there is possibility of alteration of lipid profile as well. In the present study lipid profile parameters of gestational diabetes mellitus patient (GDM) were evaluated in a cross-sectional study conducted at the Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology of BSMMU and BIRDEM. A total of 60 pregnant women of 3rd trimester were recruited for the study in which 30 were with GDM and 30 were normoglycemic. Along with basic characteristics and parameters like total cholesterol, LDL- cholesterol, HDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels were evaluated at 3rd trimester of pregnancy. The lipid profile in gestational diabetes mellitus is found to be altered compared to healthy pregnant women. The altered parameter of lipid profile (Triglycerides, Total cholesterol) was found to be evident in our study. However, altered lipid profile in the GDM might also be due to altered diet in pregnancy.
