Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Pregnancy is characterized by a series of metabolic changes that promote insulin resistance. This could be due to increase in the plasma levels of one or more pregnancy-related hormones such as oestrogen, progesterone, prolactin, cortisol, and human placental lactogen (HPL). The increased insulin resistance in pregnancy is associated with development of diabetes which has implications for the future gestations also. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: To determine status of insulin resistance in pregnant women and correlate the presence of insulin resistance with obstetric outcome. MATERIAL AND METHOD: A prospective cohort study was conducted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, KGMU, Lucknow, over a period of one year. Total 150 pregnant women were enrolled from OPD, out of which 136 women were followed up till delivery. Insulin resistance was calculated by HOMA IR index, twice in whole antenatal period (first in early pregnancy and second in late pregnancy). All women were also tested for GDM by DIPSI test (plasma glucose value after 2 h of 75 gm glucose load irrespective of last meal) as per protocol. RESULTS: In our study, we found 71 women out of 136 (52.2%) were GDM. Total 30 women out of 136 (22.05%) were GGI (Gestational Glucose Intolerance), and total 38 out of 136 (27.9%) women were found to have insulin resistance using HOMA IR ≥ 2 as cut off. Significant correlation was found in between BMI and insulin resistance (p = 0.001) and between GDM and insulin resistance (p = 0.001). Relative risk of development of complications like Preeclampsia, neonatal hypoglycemia, and respiratory distress syndrome was higher in women having insulin resistance and GDM. CONCLUSION: Obstetric complications like preeclampsia, neonatal hypoglycemia, and respiratory distress syndrome are more likely to occur in women with insulin resistance, but larger studies are required to delineate whether insulin resistance alone without development of GDM will have the same implication. © Federation of Obstetric & Gynecological Societies of India 2021.
