ABSTRACT
Introduction: Diabetes affects 415
million individuals globally, with 193 million undiagnosed diabetics. Type 2
diabetes affects more than 90% of diabetic patients. It causes microvascular
and macrovascular problems that cause significant psychological and physical discomfort
in both patients and caregivers and a significant financial burden on
healthcare systems. Despite growing awareness of type 2 diabetes risk factors
and evidence of effective preventative programmes, the disease's incidence and
prevalence continue to climb globally.
Methods: In this study, a
population-based investigation was made among 60 pregnant women’s belonging to
two different age groups ranges (18-38) and (36 to 45) and associated risk
factors of the diabetes type 2 were screened out at Kausar Hospital, Khairpur
city and Mehran Lab Khairpur, Sindh, Pakistan.
Results: Results of this study
revealed 31 (52%) positive cases and 29 (48%) negative cases of Diabetes type 2
using manual micro lab procedure and glucometer (Random and Fastening Glucose
test). Glucometer. Furthermore, our study also revealed that 80% of positive
cases were also experiencing various infections, whereas 20% were without any
infection, Similarity 55% of the cases were also had their genetic-based
Diabetes, whereas 45% caught this during their gestation period and 47% showed
anger and 53% of the woman were in stress.
Conclusion: Our study suggests
that Maternal and fetal monitoring is required to minimize maternal and fetal /neonatal
morbidity and perinatal mortality. After delivery, all women with GDM must be
reevaluated as to their glucose tolerance by a 75 g OGTT (WHO criteria).
Keywords: Gestational
