Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) affects approximately 6% of pregnancies in the United States, and it is increasing in prevalence. Pregnant women without known diabetes mellitus should be screened for GDM after 24 weeks of gestation. Treatment of GDM results in a statistically significant decrease in the incidence of preeclampsia, shoulder dystocia, and macrosomia. Initial management includes glucose monitoring and lifestyle modifications.
Women who have had gestational diabetes are at a great risk of developing Type 2 diabetes in the future. It is recommended that you have a diabetes test in six to 12 weeks after your baby is born, and then regular checks every two or three years to monitor your diabetes. (ADIPS 2010) .
