    GlossaryGestational Diabetes Mellitus

    condition where pregnancy causes high blood sugar levels

    Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) is a type of diabetes that develops during pregnancy when the body cannot produce enough insulin to meet the increased needs, leading to high blood sugar levels. It typically resolves after childbirth but requires careful management to prevent complications for both the mother and the baby, such as preterm birth or high birth weight.
