Summary:
Gestational Diabetes ,a disease with increasing incidence, is associated with
increased risk for both the mother and the baby and is divided into two
categories: the pre-existing or overt diabetes and gestational diabetes
mellitus (GDM), which is impaired glucose tolerance with onset or first
recognition during pregnancy. The diagnostic approach of GDM is based on the
criteria set by the American Diabetes Association (ADA) and recently modified,
based on the results of the study HAPO.
The newborn of diabetic mother is at increased risk for complications, such as
congenital malformations, spontaneous abortions, intrauterine death,
macrosomia, hypoglycemia, hypocalcemia, respiratory distress syndrome, jaundice
and cardiomyopathy. Several perinatal complications, due to the effects of high
glucose levels in the mother, can be avoided with the right setting at the time
of conception and pregnancy. Early detection and diagnosis, systematic
monitoring, maintaining good metabolic control and identification of risk
factors for mother and infant, have brought an improvement in the prognosis of
GDM.
This study addresses in detail the diagnostic approach and monitoring of
gestational diabetes mellitus, the epidemiology of the disease and the
treatment options during pregnancy. In addition, mention is also made of the
management of pregnant women during delivery to reduce the perinatal
complications.
