Gestational Diabetes
📋Overview
Diabetes in pregnancy refers primarily to two conditions: pregestational diabetes (existing type 1 or type 2 diabetes before pregnancy) and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), which is glucose intolerance first recognized during pregnancy. Gestational diabetes is a temporary condition that usually resolves after delivery but requires careful management to reduce risks to both mother and fetus.
