Abstract :

Aim : We aimed to compare post partal weight loss of gestational diabetes mellitus and post partal diabetes mellitus.

Methods : It was a short duration observational study. All subjects were enrolled at their admission for delivery with a diagnosis of gestational diabetes. They were assessed for inclusion – exclusion criteria, and on qualification they were requested to fill up Socio-demographic data sheet or asked verbally and filled up by investigators. The blood was collected for measurement of Hb1Ac at the time of diagnosis and after 3-4 months of post partal duration.

Results: Out of total sample size of 42 patients 13 patients (30.95 %) had higher Hb1Ac above 6.5 after 3 months post partum. There was significantly minimal weight loss among post partal diabetes mellitus in comparison to gestational diabetes mellitus (1.86 � .68 vs 3.65 � .76; t = -7.201, p= .000).

Conclusions� This study finds that among patients of post partam diabetes there is less weight loss, in comparison to women of gestational diabetes.
