OBJECTIVE: To evaluate treatment effectiveness (diet alone, insulin or @entity5217 ) on maternal weight @entity6677 (GDM). METHODS: GDM @entity1 were treated with diet alone, insulin or @entity5217 . @entity1017 was stratified into: prior to GDM diagnosis, from diagnosis to @entity1017 . Good glycemic control was defined as mean blood @entity413  <=105   mg/dl and @entity28 as Body Mass Index (BMI)   >=    30   kg/m(2), overweight BMI 25-29   kg/m(2) and normal <   25   kg/m(2). RESULTS: Total @entity1017 was similar in all the treatment groups. Two-thirds of @entity1017 occurred prior to diagnosis (diet 85%, insulin 67% and @entity5217 78%). Post-diagnosis, @entity1 on diet alone gained less weight than those on insulin or @entity5217 (p   <   0.001); insulin-treated @entity1 showed greater @entity1017 than @entity5217 -treated @entity1 (p   <   0.001). @entity1 on diet with good glycemic control showed less @entity1017 after diagnosis than @entity1 on insulin or @entity5217 (2.8        13, 6.6        10, 5.2        7.9 lbs, respectively, p   <   0.02). Poorly-controlled @entity1 , regardless of treatment, had similar patterns of @entity1017 throughout pregnancy. CONCLUSION: Patterns of maternal @entity1017 in GDM pregnancies are associated with treatment modality and level of glycemic control.
