New Markers of Glycation to Predict Gestational Diabetes Mellitus and Macrosomia.

"Gestational Diabetes Mellitus increases the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes (such as macrosomia).~The lack of early clinical symptoms leads to screen pregnant women for GDM, and the strategies of screening are a matter of debate.~Interventions to control glucose levels in women with GDM have demonstrated efficacy in terms of macrosomia. However, macrosomia may start before the time of screening, suggesting that markers of glycation may have interest : skin autofluorescence, glycated albumin."
