Current Recommendations for Managing Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM)

Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) is a condition characterized by glucose intolerance that manifests during pregnancy. It can result in adverse effects for both mother and baby, including increased risks of cesarean delivery and neonatal complications. Early diagnosis involves screening high-risk groups using glucose tolerance tests. Continuous monitoring of blood glucose levels during pregnancy is crucial for effective management. Postpartum reassessment of both mother and offspring is vital to ensure their health. The Australian Carbohydrate Intolerance Study shows the importance of dietary management and lifestyle factors in controlling GDM.
