Abstract

Aims and Objectives To determine the association between hypoglycaemia among neonates born to mothers with gestational diabetes mellitus and their postpartum prediabetes. Background Infants born to mothers with diabetes who experienced hyperglycaemia are more likely to develop hypoglycaemia. Design A prospective–descriptive research was conducted in three tertiary hospitals in southern Thailand. Methods One hundred and fifty matched pairs of mothers and their newborns were included in the study. Data were analysed using descriptive statistic, odds ratio, Spearman's rho correlation and binary logistic regression. Results The incidence of neonatal hypoglycaemia was 42·37% and odds ratio was 0·30. The findings showed the significant association between neonatal hypoglycaemia and postpartum blood sugar levels of women with a history of gestational diabetes mellitus. Conclusions Neonatal hypoglycaemia was associated with maternal hyperglycaemia and prediabetes. Relevance to clinical practice Neonatal hypoglycaemia might be used to predict prediabetes of postpartum women with a history of gestational diabetes mellitus.
