What is Diabetes and Hypertension in Pregnancy about?
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) accounts for 90-95% of diabetes cases during pregnancy. GDM results from impaired insulin secretion and insulin resistance during pregnancy. Screening involves a glucose challenge test between 24-28 weeks, followed by a glucose tolerance test if abnormal. Treatment includes diet, exercise, insulin and possibly oral medications. Adverse outcomes include fetal growth issues, hypoglycemia, and long-term risks. Maternal risks include cesarean delivery and hypertension.
