A comparison of HBA1c in pregestational diabetes patients with obesity

This research analyze the differences in the effect of obesity on HbA1c levels in pregestational diabetes patients (DMPg). This was a retrospective observational study that involved the medical records of pregestational diabetic patients at RSUD Dr. Soetomo, Surabaya. Furthermore, the subjects were pregnant women with pregestational diabetes from 2013 to 2018, selectedusing the total sampling technique,and the variables evaluated were BMI (Body Mass Index) and HbA1c levels. In addition, the inclusion criteria were pregnant women with pragestational diabetes,possessing BMI and HbA1C data, while incomplete medical records were excluded. Out of the 48 participants with DMPg studied, only 30 met the inclusion criteria. Also, those with obesity and overweight tend to have HbA1c levels that were higher (6.46%) than normal weighted patients (6.25%), at a difference that was not significant (p = 0.6249).
