... Abstract In the majority of women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), glucose tolerance normalizes shortly after pregnancy. Nevertheless, GDM is one of the strongest predictors of subsequent type 2 diabetes (T2DM), which will develop in around half of the women with previous GDM...

... Abstract Up to 16.2% of pregnant women have some form of hyperglycemia, and an estimated 85% of them are due to gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Usually, the impairment of glucose tolerance in GDM is the result of relative insulin deficiency not due to autoimmune mechanisms. But autoimmune...

... Abstract For the risk of maternal and fetal complications, gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) requires strict care. When lifestyle intervention (i.e., nutritional medical therapy and physical activity) is not effective in keeping blood glucose at target, a pharmacological treatment is needed...

... ). Fig. 1. Maternal diabetes in pregnancy influences the offspring health from fetus to adult life. Maternal hyperglycemia causes intrauterine hyperglycemia which affects the growing fetus leading to adverse metabolic outcomes later in life.

... Abstract Based on the Hyperglycemia and Adverse Pregnancy Outcome study, new universal screening recommendations and cut-offs for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) have been proposed. In addition to the immediate perinatal risk, GDM carries an increased risk of metabolic disease in the mother...

... Abstract Diabetes is the most common metabolic disorder of pregnancy. Women affected by diabetes in pregnancy fall into 1 of 2 broad diagnostic categories – pregestational (including type 1 and type 2 diabetes) and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). The International Diabetes Federation...

... secondary outcomes including fetal adiposity and preeclampsia. In general, the association of maternal BMI with these outcomes tended to “plateau” in the highest categories, whereas that of glucose was still increasing [ 13 ]. The combined associations of BMI and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM...

... that cannot be answered with traditional medicine and traditional scientific investigation tools. For instance, there is no international uniformity regarding the assessment and the diagnosis of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) [ 2 ]. Thus, the availability of biomarkers that would predict GDM would...

... of studies on placental tissue from normal and GDM pregnancies using OMICS technologies. We also summarize the most recent developments in the field of liquid biopsies to recover placental derived molecules from maternal blood. A primary focus is on placental exosomes, which are special vesicles released...

..., and this is due mostly to the increase of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and of obesity that is a very high risk factor for the development of GDM and type 2 diabetes. Optimal health care before and during pregnancy is mandatory to prevent birth defects and other health problems, and to reach this aim...

..., with the aim of exploring how far the understanding and management of this condition have come.
