Insulin Resistance in Gestational Diabetes Mellitus and Its Association With Anthropometric Fetal Indices.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), insulin resistance (IR) increases the risk of developing manifest type 2 diabetes mellitus and is associated with complications in both mother and fetus.

Objectives

This research aimed to evaluate the associations between IR evaluated by 3 indices (namely updated homeostasis model assessment model (HOMA2), QUICKI, and McAuley's index) and the diabetes risk factors and the fetal growth indices in Vietnamese women with GDM.

Methods

A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 370 women with GDM and 40 healthy pregnant women from January 2015 to May 2019. IR was calculated by HOMA2 (HOMA2-IR), QUICKI, and McAuley's index. Fetal anthropometric measurements were assessed via ultrasound which was
