Gestational diabetes also known asgestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), is a condition in which women without previouslydiagnosed diabetes exhibit high blood glucose (blood sugar) levels during pregnancy(especially during their third trimester).
Gestational diabetes is caused when insulin receptors do not function properly. This is likely due to pregnancy-related factors such as the presence of human placental lactogenthat interferes with susceptible insulin receptors. This in turn causes inappropriately elevated blood sugar levels.
Most women are able to manage their blood glucose levels with a modified diet and the introduction of moderate exercise, but some requireantidiabetic drugs, including insulin
