Introduction: Urinary iodine concentration (UIC) can reflex recent changes in iodine status and serve as a sensitive marker of current iodine intake. The cut-off value of UIC was determined as the level lower than 100 μg/l. Adequate median urinary iodine for iodine intake in pregnancy is 150–249 μg/l. The aim of this study was to map the situation of iodine intake in pregnant women with pregestational and gestational diabetes and to explore relationship with thy...

Introduction: Urinary iodine concentration (UIC) and neonatal thyroid stimulating hormone (neoTSH) concentrations can reflect changes in iodine status and serve as a sensitive marker of iodine intake in pregnancy. As gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) requires some diet modification, the study aimed to map the situation of iodine intake in women with GDM compared to healthy pregnant women and explore a relationship to thyroid function.Methods: In the tw...
