📋Overview
Diabetes in Pregnancy primarily includes two clinical scenarios: pregestational diabetes, where type 1 or type 2 diabetes exists before conception, and gestational diabetes mellitus. Gestational diabetes is characterized by glucose intolerance that is first recognized during pregnancy due to metabolic changes.
While gestational diabetes is often a temporary condition that typically resolves following delivery, it requires clinical monitoring to support the health of both the parent and the fetus. Medical professionals distinguish between these types to determine the appropriate level of observation needed throughout the pregnancy.
