RE: [ozmidwifery] high GTT result?
Hi Janet, GTT results aren't just the last measure. You are considered GDM if your fasting BSL is 5.5mmoll or your 2 hour reading is 8mmoll. Generally 9.8 would be managed on diet, exercise, education etc. If the BSL's remain well controlled then there is no reason to exclude her from a birth centre. The medical establishment will want to induce at term , but if a GDM woman whois well controlled with a normal sized baby on board could try and get a little more time.

Re: [ozmidwifery] high GTT result?
Need more info. Is that the one hour result or the two hour result. If it is the two hour result she needs a consultation with a diabetic nurse or Dr and it is high.

RE: [ozmidwifery] high GTT result?
Hi Janet, The 1 hour result is irrelevant. It is the 2 hour that counts as they aren't able to utilise and excrete the excess sugar. So, she needs a consult with a GDM midwife or endocrinologist (whatever you have)if her fasting BSL is 5.5 or her 2 hour is 8. I hope that is clearer.

[ozmidwifery] article FYI
Second-Hand Smoke Traces Detected in Babies' Urine By Michael Smith, MedPage Today Staff Writer Reviewed by Zalman S. Agus, MD; Emeritus Professor at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. May 12, 2006 MINNEAPOLIS, May 12 Nearly half the infants in a small study exposed to second-hand smoke from their parents' cigarettes showed signs of a potent carcinogen in their urine, according to investigators here. The take home message is, 'Don't smoke around your kids,' said Stephen Hecht, Ph.D., of the University of Minnesota. Dr. Hecht said the study, published in the May issue of Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers Prevention, is the first to show that many infants living with at least one smoking parent have been exposed to the tobacco-specific carcinogen 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone, or NNK. NNK is known to cause cancer in rats and is believed to play a significant role as a cause of lung cancer in smokers and in nonsmokers exposed to second-hand smoke. Dr. Hecht and colleagues enrolled 144 mothers with babies ages three months to a year. Pairs were eligible if the mother was older than 18, not currently breast feeding, was herself a daily or occasional smoker, and if the infant recently had been exposed to tobacco smoke either in the home or in a car. The researchers tested mainly for metabolites of NNK (compounds dubbed total NNAL) but also for nicotine, cotinine, and their respective glucuronides. NNAL is an accepted biomarker for uptake of NNK, Dr. Hecht said. You don't find NNAL in urine except in people who are exposed to tobacco smoke, whether they are adults, children, or infants. All told, the study showed that: Total NNAL was detectable in 67 of the 144 infants (46.5%), and the mean level of total NNAL in the 144 infants was 0.083 picomoles per milliliter. 134 infants (93.1%), had detectable cotinine and 141 (97.9%), had detectable nicotine. The mean levels of total cotinine and total nicotine were 0.133 and 0.069 nanomoles per milliliter, respectively. The presence of NNAL in the urine of these infants can be explained only by their exposure to the tobacco-specific carcinogen NNK, the researchers concluded. The most likely vector was second-hand smoke, although some could also be absorbed from surfaces, such as rugs and furniture. In fact, Dr. Hecht said, the level of NNAL detected in the urine of these infants was higher than in most other field studies of environmental tobacco smoke in children and adults. As might be expected, the more direct exposure the infant had to tobacco, the more likely he or she was to have NNK metabolites in the urine, the researchers found. Among the 77 infants with no detectable total NNAL, the children were exposed to smoke from an average of 27 cigarettes a week, while among those with detectable NNAL, the average was 76. The difference was statistically significant at P0.0001. But that shouldn't be a consolation to light-smoking parents, Dr. Hecht said: With more sensitive analytical equipment, the NNAL from urine of babies in lower-frequency cigarette smoking households would most likely be detectable. The authors noted that a broad range of potentially effective interventions to decrease exposure exists. These include: Efforts to encourage women to quit before or during pregnancy and to avoid postpartum relapse. Encouraging smoking cessation among household members. Establishing no-smoking policies for the home and car. They pointed out that evidence that nicotine is present in dust and surfaces of houses in which smoking takes places indicates that the complete elimination of smoking in homes is preferable to an emphasis on not smoking in the presence of children. They added that regulatory and economic policies (e.g., increasing the excise tax on cigarettes) are important approaches to decreasing the overall prevalence of smoking and therefore decreasing environmental tobacco smoke exposure of children.
