GDM & Pre gestational DM

Diabetes and Pregnancy – Why it is relevant?

Diabetes and PregnancyMaternal hyperglycaemia is associated with high risk of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality and poor pregnancy outcome

It has been shown beyond reasonable doubt that treatment of GDM significantly improves pregnancy outcomes

Risk of maternal diabetes after GDM

Glucose tolerance at follow-up

Offspring's of women with GDM, have a 4 to 8 fold increased risk of diabetes.
