Al the data were colected July 1, 2017 and June 30, 20, and 10,58 Chinese women with DIP and live births were included. Two separate multivariate binary stepwise forward logistic regresion analysis calculated OR with 95% CI. The prevalence rates of NHB and NH was respectively 3.65% and 5.82% among women with DIP.

The comorbidity of both diseases was 0.59%. NH were 1.81 times (OR 1.81, 1.19–2.76) more likely to have hyperbilirubinemia. NHB is positively corelated with NH (OR 1.93, 1.27–2.92).

Increased gestational age has a protective efect on both NH (OR 0.76, 0.68–0.85) and NHB (OR 0.80, 0.69–0.92). Abnormal placental morphology is related to NH (OR 1.5, 1.16–2.08) and NHB (OR 1.64, 1.10–2.45). Regarding neonatal outcomes, congenital heart disease (CHD) (OR 2.16, 1.25–3.73; and OR 10.14, 6.47–15.90) was a risk factor for NH and NHB.

Summary

NHB and NH were significantly corelated in women with DIP. The ofspring of DIP with multiple risk factors have a significantly increased risk of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia.Hyperglycemia during pregnancy is a growing health concern for women and their infants, including pre-gestational diabetes melitus (PGDM) and gestational diabetes melitus (GDM)1. Diabetes in pregnancy causes short-term and long-term adverse impacts on both pregnant women (e.g., gestational hypertension, abortion, and stil

Frequently Asked Questions

What is diabetes and how does it develop?

Diabetes is a metabolic condition where the body cannot properly regulate blood sugar levels. Type 1 results from insufficient insulin production, while Type 2 develops when cells become resistant to insulin. Risk factors include genetics, obesity, sedentary lifestyle, and age.

What are the main symptoms of diabetes?

Common symptoms include excessive thirst, frequent urination, unexplained weight loss, fatigue, blurred vision, and slow-healing wounds. Type 1 symptoms develop rapidly, while Type 2 symptoms may appear gradually. Many people have no symptoms initially, which is why screening is important.

How is diabetes diagnosed and monitored?

Diagnosis involves blood tests measuring fasting glucose, HbA1c levels, and glucose tolerance. Regular monitoring typically includes fasting glucose tests and HbA1c measurements every 3-6 months. Continuous glucose monitors provide real-time tracking for better diabetes management.

What lifestyle changes help manage diabetes?

Effective management includes regular physical activity (150+ minutes weekly), maintaining healthy weight, following a balanced diet with whole grains and lean proteins, managing stress, and getting adequate sleep. These changes can significantly improve blood sugar control and reduce complications.

When should someone consult a doctor about diabetes?

Consult a healthcare provider if you experience signs of diabetes, have a family history, are overweight, or are over 45. Those with existing diabetes should maintain regular check-ups every 3-6 months to monitor control and adjust treatment as needed.
