We found three women under the age of twenty years to have gestational diabetes implying that gestation diabetes can occur in very young women
The accelerated rate of diabetes in pregnancy in this study could be explained by the exponential increase in obesity and lower fasting cut off values for diagnosis of diabetes
Summary
Diabetes in pregnancy is increasing globally in light of lifestyle changes and lower thresholds of diagnosis. Incidence varies from 5 to 10 % depending upon geographical location, prevalence of obesity, ethnicity and extent of implementation of diabetic screening in routine antenatal care pathways [1,2]. In Oman, the recent estimates of diabetes in pregnancy was 18.34% in 2017 [4]. Diabetes in pregnancy is associated with adverse maternal and fetal outcomes like pre-eclampsia, urinary tract infections, preterm labor, macrosomia, increased induction of labor, caesarean section rates and increased neonatal intensive care stay [5,6].
