Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM)
Gestational diabetes is a type of diabetes that develops during pregnancy, typically in the second or third trimester. It occurs when the body cannot produce enough insulin to regulate blood sugar levels due to hormonal changes and increased demands during pregnancy.
While it usually resolves after childbirth, gestational diabetes can increase the risk of complications for both the mother and baby, including high birth weight and a higher chance of developing type 2 diabetes later in life.
