Impaired microvascular reactivity in gestational diabetes is associated with altered glycemic parameters

Objectives To assess microvascular reactivity and glycemic parameters in GDM compared to age and GA matched controls. Methods This study involved 21 GDM patients and 31 controls. Microvascular reactivity was assessed using LDF and PORH. Microvascular parameters; PORHmax, PORHpeak, and time to peak p...

Description
Summary:Objectives To assess microvascular reactivity and glycemic parameters in GDM compared to age and GA matched controls. Methods This study involved 21 GDM patients and 31 controls. Microvascular reactivity was assessed using LDF and PORH. Microvascular parameters; PORHmax, PORHpeak, and time to peak perfusion (Tp) were recorded after the release of 3 minutes’ upper arm occlusion. HOMA‐IR was performed to evaluate insulin resistance. Results Average age and GA for subjects were 32.9 years and 29.2 weeks. Mean FBG and a 2‐hour postprandial for GDM and controls were 4.87 ± 0.71 vs 3.99 ± 0.59 mmol/L; P
