Abstract in brief
- Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) affects about 6% of pregnant women, with increasing rates linked to obesity.
- Screening and diagnosis of GDM have varying protocols and guidelines, making consensus tricky.
- Treating GDM can lower risks of complications like preeclampsia and macrosomia, and unless diet changes work, medications like metformin or insulin are recommended, with care advised not to extend pregnancy beyond term.
