Abstract Gestational diabetes (GDM) is defined as “carbohydrate intolerance with onset or first recognition during pregnancy”. Gestational diabetes (GDM) is observed in 7% to 18% of pregnancies. Possible complications include a higher frequency of fetal macrosomia, preeclampsia, cesarean section, and neonatal hypoglycemia, all of which are substantially reduced when glucose levels are controlled, either by diet and exercise primarily or through medication when the first approach proves insufficient. |
