Abstract

Among the most familiar maternal complications is gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and its incidence has increased globally, along with increasing type two diabetes. Every level of dysglycaemia which first arises or has been first detected throughout pregnancy is referred to as gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Globally, this has become a public health burden. GDM has become one of the major public health problems for both mothers and children globally. Internationally, the frequency of excess weight and obesity has risen dramatically in women of childbearing age. There seems to be a greater risk of having GDM in overweight or obese women, resulting in problems during pregnancy, birth and neonatal development. Hospital management is a problem for obese pregnant females with GDM and places extra burdens on the healthcare sector. GDM can result in possible risks to the wellbeing of the mother, fetus, and infant, as well as clinically significant negative effects on the mental health of the mother. For females and their developing babies, diabetes may cause problems during pregnancy. Unsatisfactory diabetes control enhances the risk of complications and other birth related issues during pregnancy. It may also cause a woman to suffer severe complications. Numerous maternal and fetal effects are associated with GDM and multiple detection and management methods are also pursued globally in order to reduce the burden of health. An overview of gestational diabetes in pregnancy, its epidemiology, its causes and treatment is given in this review. Keywords: Pregnancy, diabetes, complications, treatment
