Abstract

The aim of the present study was to demonstrate that the use of inositol and folic acid from the first trimester of pregnancy, counteracts the onset of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in women at risk, preserving the infants from macrosomia, hypoglycemia and preterm delivery. The authors collected data from the pregnant women at the laboratory (Unit of Cytogenic and Molecular Genetics), from January 2014 to April 2016, all with first trimester fasting plasma glucose (FPG) >92 mg/dl. A total of 40 women were treated with 250 mg/day D‑chiro‑inositol, 1.75 g/day D‑myo‑inositol, 12.5 mg/day zinc, 10 mg/day methylsulfonylmethane, 400 µg/day 5‑methyltetrahydrofolic acid. The other 43 women (control group) were treated with only 400 µg/day folic acid. The primary outcome measure was the incidence of maternal GDM. The secondary outcome measures were the incidence of fetal macrosomia, preterm delivery and neonatal hypoglycemia. At the 24th week of pregnancy, the incidence of maternal GDM was recorded in 18 women in the control group and in 5 women in the treated group [relative risk (RR)=3.35; 95% confidence interval (CI)=1.37‑8.17; P=0.0028). A significant difference was observed between treated and control groups in terms of risk of macrosomia. A total of seven infants in the control group, and two in the treated group, weighed >4,000 g (RR=5,12; 95% CI=1.21‑21.68; P=0.0099). No significant difference was identified between two groups, regarding the other two secondary outcomes, neonatal hypoglycemia (RR=4.650; 95% CI=0.57‑38.11; P=0.1086) and preterm delivery (RR=1.74; 95% CI=0.83‑3.66; P=0.1301). The current study demonstrated the potential benefit of supplementation with the association of D‑chiro‑inositol and D‑myo‑inositol in pregnant ‘at risk’ women, with first trimester FPG >92 mg/dl, in preventing the onset of maternal GDM and macrosomia in newborns.
