Fulltext PDFGestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is the most common medical complication of pregnancy. During pregnancy hyperglycemic condition develops that affects the mother and offspring. The complications of pregnancy and the prevalence of undiagnosed hyperglycemia in young women are increasing concern for maternal health. The etiology of GDM is complex, associated with genetic and environmental factors. The symptoms of GDM are frequent urination, blurred vision, dry mouth, thirst, fatigue, etc. GDM is mainly type 2 diabetes mellitus, the inability of beta cells of the pancreas to release insulin, and pregnancy hormones are also responsible for the insulin resistance pathway which is created by type 2 diabetes mellitus in pregnant women. The GDM diagnosis is achieved using the glucose challenge test (GCT) and oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). Dietary modifications and physical activity are the primary treatments for GDM, but oral hypoglycemic agents, metformin, and glyburide are usually used in India and other countries. GDM increases the risk of short-term and long-term complications, including obesity, overweight, impaired glucose metabolism, and cardiovascular diseases, in both mother and infant. Monitoring of the development of offspring and recommendation of a healthy lifestyle for the children and family is recommended.
