Overview

Gestational diabetes is a form of diabetes that first develops during pregnancy, when hormonal changes reduce the body's sensitivity to insulin and blood glucose levels rise. It typically appears in the middle to later stages of pregnancy and often resolves after delivery, though it signals an increased future risk of type 2 diabetes for the mother. When not well managed, gestational diabetes can raise the likelihood of complications for both mother and baby, including high blood pressure disorders of pregnancy, larger-than-average birth weight, and difficulties around delivery. Screening through blood glucose testing during pregnancy allows for early identification, and management centers on monitoring blood sugar, dietary and lifestyle measures, and medication when needed. Research within this journal's scope reflects these themes, including studies of pregnancy outcomes in treated gestational diabetes, the risk factors associated with the condition among pregnant women, and its relationship with proinflammatory cytokines. Within the scope of Obesity Management, gestational diabetes connects pregnancy to the broader study of metabolic health, insulin resistance, and the factors that influence glucose regulation. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to diabetes in pregnancy, maternal metabolic health, and related outcomes.
