Popis: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a serious and most frequent health complication during pregnancy which is associated with a significant increase in the risk of maternal and neonatal outcomes. GDM is usually the result of β-cell dysfunction along with chronic insulin resistance during pregnancy. Seshiah et al. pioneer work led to the adoption of Diabetes in Pregnancy Study Group in India criteria as the norm to diagnose GDM, especially in the community setting. In 2014, the Maternal Health Division of the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India, updated guidelines and stressed upon the proper use of guidelines such as using a glucometer for self-monitoring and the use of oral hypoglycaemic agents. The 2018 Government of India guidelines stress the importance of counselling about lifestyle modifications, weight control, exercise, and family planning.
