Search for: [Abstract = "esent findings indicate that 1\). Lipid disorders such as reduced HDL cholesterol and elevated triglycerides are significant predictors of macrosomia. 2\). Lipid disorders after delivery occur in a high percentage of women with gestational diabetes\: elevated triglycerides in 13.7%, reduced HDL cholesterol in 4.5%, elevated total cholesterol in 46.6%, elevated LDL cholesterol in 69.2% of women. 3\). Based on these findings it is recommended\: \- to follow up women with gestational diabetes and to monitor not only the parameters of carbohydrate metabolism but also serum lipids to prevent cardiovascular disorders and type 2 diabetes mellitus, especially in women with gestational diabetes delivering babies with macrosomia\; \- to correct lipid profile through overweight reduction and proper diet in women with gestational diabetes to prevent macrosomia and possible metabolic disorders in older children, but further prospective studies are warranted on this subject. The present findings suggest the usefulness of further studies on the relationship between lipid and carbohydrate disorders, neonatal status and obstetric complications in women with gestational diabetes, to protect the health of mothers and the cardiovascular system of children."]
