Estudio caso de una paciente de 35 años con manifestaciones clínicas de diabetes gestacional

Abstract

Gestational diabetes is a variation of glucose tolerance, of unstable intensity that can be identified for the first time in pregnancy, this pathology involves the biological system of the mother, the placental tissue and the fetus. The present research work was carried out through a descriptive study, supported by the method of analysis through the review of scientific articles. Once this research has been carried out, it will be necessary to identify that in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy there is a decrease in insulin sensitivity, when the pancreatic beta cell is unable to overcome the insulin resistance that extends during pregnancy, increasing maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality, concluding that these risks can be controlled with effective and early diagnosis, thus performing prenatal screening for women who present risk factors from the first trimester of pregnancy and all pregnant women who are between weeks 24 -28, based on established capillary blood glucose levels.
