Therapiebedürftige Hyperglykämien gehören weltweit zu den häufigsten Schwangerschaftskomplikationen.
Die größte Gruppe bilden Frauen mit Gestationsdiabetes mellitus, gefolgt von Frauen
mit bekanntem Typ-1- und Typ-2-Diabetes mellitus. Die Betreuung ist komplex und verlangt
ein gutes Zusammenspiel verschiedener Fachgebiete. Dieser Beitrag bietet eine Übersicht
zu bewährten Therapie-Strategien und erläutert neue Erkenntnisse, u. a. zur SARS-CoV-2-Pandemie.
Abstract
The quality of metabolic control at the beginning of pregnancy already determines
the course and outcome of pregnanies with type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus. The
preconceptional counseling and support provided by experienced teams is more important
than modern technical equipment with insulin pumps and sensors for continuous glucose
measurement. The incidence of congenital malformations is significantly reduced by
a periconceptional HbA1c level < 6.5 % and folic acid supplementation started preconceptionally.
To prevent preeclampsia, all women with type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus should
be offered low-dose ASA, starting before 16 weeks of pregnancy. If the pregnant woman
has a BMI < 25 kg/m² and persistently elevated fasting blood glucose levels, a GCK-MODY
should be considered. For the diagnosis of asymptomatic gestational diabetes mellitus,
all women in Germany with 24 + 0 to 27 + 6 weeks of pregnancy are offered a two-stage
screening. Structured follow-up care is required after gestational diabetes mellitus,
because these women have an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus
and cardiovascular complications. Pregnant women with COVID-19 and hyperglycemia have
an increased risk of a severe course of the infection, which is further increased
by obesity – they are an important target group for vaccination with an mRNA vaccine.
