Effectivity of medical nutrition therapy plus transgestational metformin for preventing the incidence of gestational diabetes mellitus in high risk mexican women.
Abstract
Gestational diabetes mellitus is one of the most frequent complications of pregnancy, that affect between 1 to 14% of population around the world.
There is a few studies to prevent gestational diabetes mellitus in high risk women as Mexican population.
Metformin has been used during pregnancy in women with gestational diabetes and women with polycystic ovary syndrome, with acceptable security for mother and fetus.
Metformin decrease the insulin resistance and weight gain, we believe that metformin may be decrease the risk of gestational diabetes mellitus in high risk women.
Conditions: Pregestational Obesity (BMI > 27kg/m2), History of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.
Primary outcome: Gestational diabetes mellitus.
Enrollment: 90 participants.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a clinical trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 3 of 5 (Moderate · trial / cohort / secondary analysis). Trials without a large randomized design, cohorts and secondary analyses give moderate evidence. Reported size: 90 participants or records.
