CHO Metabolism in Pregnancy
Increase HPL and cortisol – relative insulin resistance in mother
Most marked in 3rd trimester
To balance these changes in normal pregnancy maternal pancreas secretes increased
amount of insulin to maintain CHO metabolism.
Result

➢ glucose levels higher than normal after CHO challenge
To foetus by facilitated diffusion across placenta. Level closely follows maternal level

Diabetes may complicate pregnancy either because:➢ Pre- existing insulin – dependent diabetes
➢ Impaired glucose tolerance during course of pregnancy
