Summary

The researchers investigated nineteen pregnant women in third trimester and again postpartum. At the experimental days we performed a mealtest and drew blood for analyses of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP), insulin, C-peptide and glucagon. The researchers aimed to investigate whether women with gestational diabetes mellitus exhibit decreased postprandial GLP-1 responses, and if so, whether this deficiency ceases following delivery when normal glucose tolerance is reestablished.
