Abstract

Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) is defined as any degree of glucose intolerance with the onset or first recognition during the present pregnancy at 24-28 weeks of gestation.[1] In the recent past, there is an increased incidence of diabetes during pregnancy with almost 21 million births (16.2%) affected due to hyperglycemia. Prevalence of GDM in India is 18.9%, ranging between 3.8% to 41% in various parts of the country.[2] The major maternal and neonatal adverse effects of GDM include increased risk of preterm delivery, pre-eclampsia, caesarean section delivery, development of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) post-delivery, fetal macrosomia, neonatal hypoglycemia, neonatal respiratory distress, and childhood obesity and insulin resistance, followed by impaired glucose tolerance and T2DM later in life. Read More...
