Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a disease characterized by hyperglycemia, first detected during pregnancy, but not corresponding to the diagnostic criteria of manifest diabetes mellitus (DM). According to modern concepts, pregnancy is a "diabetogenic factor", since during gestation there is a change in hemostasis of the female body, including carbohydrate metabolism. Hyperglycemia during pregnancy is associated with the development of complications both on the part of the mother and the fetus. In addition, GDM is a risk factor for the development of obesity, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases in the mother and offspring in the future. According to the International Diabetes Federation, approximately 14% of pregnancies are associated with GDM, resulting in 18 million births per year. All of these children are at risk of developing obesity and type 2 diabetes. The increasing prevalence of this disease, the high probability of adverse pregnancy outcomes for the mother and fetus, and a number of long-term consequences of GDM dictate the need for its prevention by correcting risk factors, timely diagnosis, and effective treatment of the disease.
