Key Points

  • Estimates of the prevalence of GDM range from 1 to 14%.

  • Traditional management uses diet, exercise, intensive insulin regimens, and self-monitoring of blood glucose.

  • Close surveillance of mother and foetus must be maintained.

  • Gestational diabetes increases the risk of diabetes later in life.
