【Objective】To investigate the relationship of different types of gestational diabetes mellitus(GDM)and thyroid function.【Methods】A Total of 3846 cases,which received prenatal examination,delivered in the Eastern Hospital of the First Affili? ated Hospital,Sun Yat-sen University and performed a 75 g oral glucose tolerance test(75 g 0GTT)at 24-28 gestational weeks, from Jan 1st,2014 to Dec 31st,2015,were divided into 2 groups. Normal blood glucose group:the result of OGTT(fasting plasma glucose,1 hour glucose and 2 hour glucose)was normal;Gestational diabetes mellitus group(GDM group):the result of 0GTT was abnormal. GDM group were divided into Ⅰ,Ⅱ,and Ⅲ. GDM I defined as one abnormal blood glucose of result. GDM Ⅱ:two ab? normal blood glucose. GDM Ⅲ:three abnormal blood glucose. 1868 cases of healthy pregnant women were reselected as the control group. TSH,FT4 and TPO Ab were detected in two groups. Analysis of Variance,Mann-Whitney U test,Kruskal Wallis rank test or Fisher′s test was used for statistical analysis.【Result】There were statistically significant difference in TSH,FT4 between GDM sub? group and control group(P = 0.012,P = 0.002). TSH median trend to increase in GDM Ⅱ,and FT4 median trend to decrease inGDMⅡ. The Prevalence of hypothyroidism in GDM Ⅱ and GDM Ⅲ were higher than those in control group.【Conclusion】The GDM group with two or three abnormal blood glucose had a higher incidence thyroid gland dysfunction,especial with subclinical hypothy? roidism. We should fully test the thyroid function,treat diabetes as early as possible and improve the pregnancy outcome as we could.
