Understanding Gestational Diabetes (GDM)

GDM Info

What is GDM?

GDM is a common pregnancy complication, and certain factors increase the likelihood of developing it:

  • Family History – A personal or family history of type 2 diabetes increases risk.
  • Age – Women over 25 have a higher risk.
  • Obesity – Being overweight before pregnancy raises the likelihood.
  • Previous GDM – Having had gestational diabetes in a past pregnancy.
  • PCOS – Polycystic ovary syndrome is linked to insulin resistance and GDM.
  • Ethnicity – Higher risk among African American, Hispanic, Native American, and Asian populations.
  • Large Baby History – Previous birth weight over 9 lbs may indicate risk.
