Abstract
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is the development of either temporary during the pregnancy period only or may carry forward afterwards also. The clinical manifestations may range from undetectable diabetes to full blown hyperglycemia. Low levels of Vit D3 are linked to bacterial vagueness and prevalent across populations, increasing risks like stillbirth and HIV transmission in affected mothers. The present study was conducted on 120 women aged 18‐35 years, of gestational age above 20 weeks visiting for antenatal care in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology dividing them into two groups of 60 each, group 1 comprising of subjects with diagnosed GDM and group 2 with pregnant women without any complication. The study compared key demographic and biochemical variables between cases and controls (n=60 each). Cases had significantly higher mean fasting blood sugar (155.11±36.66 vs. 95.16±19.08 mg/dL, P<0.001) and older mean age (28.15±4.56 vs. 26.16±4.14 years, P=0.01). Serum Vitamin D3 levels were comparable (P=0.69). The study concluded that levels of vitamin D3 remained comparable in the two groups i.e subjects with GDM and normal gestation.
