Abstract

Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) is a prevalent complication that can arise during pregnancy, impacting the way the body processes glucose. The condition presents challenges as it affects the mother and her unborn child, making it crucial to delve into its pathophysiology, risk factors, diagnostic criteria, management solutions, and the potential long-term effects. Through a comprehensive analysis that synthesizes the latest research findings, this review article underscores the critical importance of early detection and the implementation of holistic care strategies. By shedding light on these aspects, we aim to emphasize the significance of proactive management approaches to enhance the well-being of both maternal health and infant outcomes.
