Abstract
Background: Gestational diabetes mellitus is any degree of glucose intolerance with first diagnosis during pregnancy; it affects 3-10% of pregnancies. The presence of diabetes-related autoantibodies has shown to be able to predict the development of type 1 diabetes before hyperglycemia arises.
Objective: To recognize the prevalence of islet cell antibodies among a sample of Egyptian females with gestational diabetes and its possible relation to development of Type 1 diabetes within one year postpartum.
Methods: Our cross sectional study was conducted on 150 Egyptian pregnant females with gestational diabetes aged 19-39 years diagnosed by 75-g 2-hour oral glucose tolerance test. All females were subjected to full history, thorough clinical examination and laboratory measurement of anti-islet cell antibodies. Those females with positive antibodies were followed up six months and one year after delivery for their fasting insulin, fasting blood glucose and two hours post prandial glucose levels.
Results: The prevalence of pregnant females with gestational diabetes having positive anti islet cell antibodies was (44%), the prevalence of females diagnosed to have diabetes mellitus was (37.88%) six months and (51.52%) one year postpartum.
Conclusion: The high prevalence of ICAs among pregnant Egyptian females with GDM and the risk of developing type 1diabetes later in life makes screening for ICA among women with GDM important to recognize those at risk of developing type 1 diabetes later in life.
Keywords: Pregnancy, gestational diabetes, anti-islet cell antibodies, Type1 diabetes, Type2 diabetes, insulin resistance.

Advancing Diabetic Wound Healing: Mechanisms and Interventions
In recent years, diabetic wounds have become a global health concern with the increase in the incidence of diabetes. Diabetic wounds are a kind of chronic and refractory ulcer. It is generally due to the microcirculatory disturbances and the reduced levels of endogenous growth factors. Delayed cutaneous wound healing is ...read more
Oxidative and inflammatory responses in the development of secondary diabetic complications
Diabetes, along with its associated secondary complications, represents a significant global health challenge, contributing significantly to morbidity and mortality. Unhealthy lifestyle habits, reduced physical activity, environmental pollutants, and stress are pivotal factors in the onset of diabetes, particularly type-2 diabetes. Poorly managed hyperglycemia can lead to various complications, including neuropathy, ...read more
