6 Gestationel diabetes - Denmark % % India 10-15% Danish National Patient Registry 2010

7 Diabetes in pregnancy Pregestational - and Gestational diabetes Jørgen Pedersen theory (1952) 7

8 Short-term implications Severe pre-gestational diabetes - Congenital malformations - Perinatal mortality - Prematurity - Neonatal hypoglycaemia - Shoulder dystocia - Macrosomia Mild GDM 8

9 Long-term implications - animal studies Vicious cycle Aerts, Holemans Belgium Rats Severe maternal diabetes ~ offspring - Microsomia - Insulin - Cardiovascular risk factors - GDM Mild maternal diabetes ~ offspring - Macrosomia - Insulin secretion - GDM 9

10 Long-term implications - animal studies Plagemann, Harder Germany Rats Maternal diabetes ~ offspring - Obesity - Insulin - Structual changes in hypothalamus Insulin-induced central insulin resistance Neuroendocrine malprogramming 10

11 Human studies - type 2 diabetes, overweight and the metabolic syndrome - Different types of maternal diabetes - Different offspring age groups 11

12 Long-term implications - maternal Type 2 diabetes Pima, Arizona - Prospective % Offspring Type 2 diabetes Non-diabetic mother 35 Pre-diabetic mother 30 Diabetic mother Pettitt et al., Diabetes 1988 Offspring age 12

14 Pima, Arizona - Prospective Long-term implications - maternal Type 2 diabetes % Offspring Type 2 diabetes Non-diabetic mother 35 Pre-diabetic mother 30 Diabetic mother Sibling-studies: Offspring of mothers vs. fathers with diabetes ~ - Type 2 diabetes (OR 3.7) - Overweight BMI 2.6 kg/m Pettitt et al., Diabetes

15 Long-term implications - maternal diabetes (Type1, Type2, GDM) Mixed group 90 Type1+2 /100 GDM / 35 controls Follow-up: 0 16 years Maternal diabetes ~ offspring - Glucose + insulin + overweight + BP Maternal glucose ~ adverse offspring outcome Silverman, Rizzo, Cho, Metzger, Diabetes Care

16 Long-term implications - maternal Type 1 diabetes 22 year old offspring Mothers with Type 1 (n=15) Fathers with Type 1 (n=16) Sobngwi et al, Lancet 2003 Maternal Type 1 diabetes ~ IGT Insulin secretion BMI, fat mass, waist/hip ratio, blood pressure, insulin sensitivity 16

17 Long-term implications - maternal Type 1 diabetes + GDM 160 Type 1 /168 GDM / 128 BP Follow-up: years Kelstrup et al., JCEM 2013, 2015 Kelstrup et al., Diab Res Clin Prac 2012 Clausen et al., JCEM 2009 Clausen et al., Diabetes Care 2008 Type 1 DM + GDM ~ offspring - Type 2 diabetes, overweight and the metabolic syndrome - Insulin-resistance - Relative insulin secretion - Low-grade inflammation - Incretin function.. Maternal glucose-estimates ~ Adverse outcome 17

18 Long-term implications - human studies (children) RCT GDM intensive treatment (n=94) GDM routine care (n=105) Intensive treatment ~ Macrosomia Offspring follow-up: 4-5 years BMI Crowther, N Engl J Med, 2005 Gillman, Crowther, Diabetes Care,

19 Human studies - cognitive function - Small studies - Several different cognitive tests 19

20 Long-term implications CNS - maternal diabetes (Type 1, Type 2, GDM) Diabetes exposed offspring Followed 0-7 years - Newborn behavior - Psychomotor development - IQ Maternal glucose ~ cognitive function Silverman, Rizzo, Cho, Metzger, Diabetes Care

21 Long-term implications CNS - maternal Type I diabetes Temple et al., Diabetic Medicine, 2011 Offspring of Type 1 (n=40) UK-standards Follow-up: 6-12 years Offspring exposed to Type 1 IQ Working memory (<37GA ~ digit span ) No associations with maternal HbA1c Hypoglycaemia DM duration 21

22 Long-term implications CNS - GDM 221 GDM / 2,612 controls Singletons and twins in both groups Follow-up: 18 months 7 years GDM offspring ~ Scores (6/15 tests) Risk of language impairment x 2 (no adjustment for SES or education) The effect of GDM moderated by: Genes Maternal education (short education) Dionne et al., Pediatrics,

23 Long-term implications CNS - GDM 32 GDM / 483 controls Follow-up: 10 years GDM offspring ~ - IQ Among controls: - Maternal 2-h ~ offspring IQ GDM mothers ~ SES and education Veena et al., Diabetologia,

24 Long-term implications CNS - maternal Type 1 diabetes + GDM Type 1 DM vs. BP - Cognitive score Diet-treated GDM vs. BP - Cognitive score Maternal glucose ~ - Cognitive score Clausen et al., Diabetic Medicine 2011 Clausen et al., PLOSone 2013 GA<34weeks - Cognitive score - Maternal glucose levels But when No interaction adjusted for with SES SESand education 24
