Abstract

GestationalDiabetesMellitus(GDM) is an irregular glucose tolerance condition that developsfirst and is recognized during pregnancy.The Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT) is the gold standard for the diagnosis of this disorder from 24 to 28 weeks. A number of adverse results, including gestational hypertension, cardiovascular disease and preeclampsia, havebeen associated with pregnant women. As for maternal glucose levels in the second or third trimester the risk of adverse outcomes drastically increases, even within ranges previously considered normal for pregnancy. Excessive gestational weight gain in women with GDM, it is very normal and closely correlated with lifestyle factors during pregnancy. High fat consumption particularly saturated fat, trans fat and cholesterol, increases GDM risk. A higher intake of added sugar and lower intake of vegetable and fruit fiber are independently linked to increased fasting glucose. Animal protein consumption is positive and vegetable protein is inversely related to the risk of GDM.Since fetuses and infants are particularly vulnerable to the effects of toxic compounds, attempts should be made during the years well before childbearing to reduce the exposure of girls and women to dioxins in food, so that fewer quantities of these compounds accumulate in their bodies and are passed on through the placenta and breast milk.The key sources of exposure for most people are fats in meat, food, fatty fish, whole milk and full-fat milk products and their intake should be reduced.
