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.
If you had gestational diabetes during your pregnancy, you will need to have a follow-up test of your glucose level between 6 weeks and 12 weeks after you give birth. If your test result is normal, you should be retested for diabetes every 3 years.ecause overweight and obese women have a higher risk of this complication than women who are a normal weight, your health care provider may test you for gestational diabetes during the first 3 months of your pregnancy. You also may be given the test again in the later months of your pregnancy.
