Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM)
- Any degree of glucose intolerance with onset or first recognition during pregnancy
- It is diabetes that is first diagnosed in the 2nd or 3rd trimester of pregnancy that has not been a pre-existing type 1 or 2 diabetes
- Hyperglycemia in pregnancy may be suggested by the presence of glycosuria, a fetus that is large for date, or polyhydramnios
- Prevalence of GDM appears to be high in South Asia and South East Asian women compared to African-American, Caucasian and Hispanic women; prevalence rates are 3-21.2% in women with GDM who were born in Asian countries
- Rates of fetal macrosomia are lower in South East Asian women than in American Caucasian women
- Asian women with GDM have a higher incidence of abnormal postpartum glucose tolerance tests and risk of developing type 2 DM in the future is higher than in Anglo-European women
