941DYSLIPIDEMIA, A LONG-TERM RISK FACTOR DURING PREGNANCY AND IN GESTATIONAL DIABETES AND HOW TO DEALGDM is a condition where there is glucose intolerance during pregnancy. During this period, lot of disturbance is seen in carbohydrate metabolism and also in other metabolic pathways mainly in lipid metabolism. These associated with insulin resistance and dyslipidemia. The study was conducted in 80 pregnant women of rural population of Puducherry in two groups. Group 1 includes 40 newly diagnosed GDM patients by DIPSI and Group II with 40 normal pregnant women, age group were between 17- 40 years. Fasting blood glucose, 2-hour post glucose and lipid profile were estimated by auto analyzer. For comparisons of means student t-test was used to determine the significance between GDM and controls. There was statistically significant difference in lipid profiles, HDL-C, VLDL, LDL-C in GDM groups. There was statically significant difference FBS and lipids profiles ratio levels in GDM. This study was found to be associations between lipids profiles and Gestational diabetes mellitus in GDM groups. Therefore, considerable work has to be done in assessing the pathophysiology underlying dyslipidaemia in GDM before we can routinely adjust maternal lipids in pregnancydrvrvkk@gmail.comResearch942018Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), Dyslipidemia,PreeclampsiaSathineedhi Pavani1, Prasuna R1Assistant Professor of Obstetrics and gynaecology, Sri Lakshmi Narayana Institute of Medical sciences, Pondicherry, (Affiliated to Bharath University, Chennai), India. 2Associate Professor of Dermatology, Sri Lakshmi Narayana Institute of Medical science
