Abstract

(Abstracted from N Engl J Med 2023;388(23):2132–2144) Gestational diabetes mellitus is a common pregnancy complication. It is associated with adverse outcomes, including preeclampsia, obstetrical intervention, large-for-gestational-age neonates, shoulder dystocia, birth trauma, and neonatal hypoglycemia. Cohort studies have found that women with hyperglycemia before 20 weeks of gestation are more likely to experience accelerated fetal growth by 24 to 28 weeks than those diagnosed with GDM later in pregnancy.
