Hormonal changes, particularly insulin resistance caused by placental hormones (e.g., human placental lactogen), increase the risk of GDM. Poor glycemic control can lead to complications for both the mother and fetus. Maternal risks include preeclampsia, infections, and cesarean delivery, while fetal risks include macrosomia (large baby), shoulder dystocia, neonatal hypoglycemia, and congenital anomalies in pre-gestational diabetes. Diagnosis involves oral glucose tolerance testing (OGTT) during the second trimester. Management includes dietary modifications, glucose monitoring, and, if necessary, insulin therapy or oral hypoglycemics like metformin 💉. Regular ultrasounds assess fetal growth and amniotic fluid levels, and timely delivery is planned to minimize complications. Postpartum, women with GDM are at higher risk for Type 2 diabetes and require lifestyle counseling and glucose monitoring. Early diagnosis and stringent glycemic control are essential for positive outcomes for both mother and baby. 🩺✨🍼 #DiabetesInPregnancy #GestationalDiabetes #ObstetricsLectures #MaternalHealth #FetalWellBeing #PregnancyCare #GlycemicControl #MedicalEducation #MBBSNotes #StudySmart #HighRiskPregnancy
