Women's Health - Insulin Resistance, Obesity, and Pregnancy with Diabetes

Presented by: Dr. Muddu Surendra Nehru, MD | Homa Health Care Center | 📞 09963721999 | homahealthcarecenter.in

Join Dr. Muddu Surendra Nehru, MD, at Homa Health Care Center for an insightful seminar exploring the critical link between insulin resistance, obesity, pregnancy, and diabetes in women. This seminar will delve into the physiological complexities, genetic factors, and lifestyle modifications that impact maternal and fetal health.

Key Topics Covered:

• Insulin Resistance During Pregnancy: An Evolutionary Perspective Discover how insulin resistance, while designed to ensure adequate glucose supply to the fetus, can become problematic.

• The 50% Decrease in Glucose Disposal: Understand the mechanisms behind decreased insulin sensitivity during pregnancy and its implications.

• Obesity's Impact: Explore the connection between maternal fat mass and insulin resistance during pregnancy.

• The Placenta's Role: Learn about the placenta's crucial contribution to insulin resistance and the rapid restoration of glucose homeostasis post-delivery.

• Genetic Factors: Examine the latest genome-wide association studies (GWAS) identifying genes associated with altered glycemic responses in pregnant women (HKDC1, BACE2, CDKAL1, MTNR1B).

• Lifestyle Interventions: Learn how exercise and physical activity can combat insulin resistance during pregnancy.

• Diabetes, Obesity, and Inactivity: A Dangerous Combination: Understand the implications of these factors on pregnancy outcomes and long-term health for both mother and offspring.

• Multifaceted Mechanisms: Explore the hormonal, placental, genetic, epigenetic, and lifestyle contributions to insulin resistance in pregnancy.

• Diet & Microbiome: See how diet and the gut microbiome may impact insulin resistance during pregnancy

• Overweight/Obesity: Understand the increased risk factors in obese or overweight wome
