Abstract

Gestational Diabetes Mellitus is to be studied thoroughly as there is increasing trend of it due to increasing maternal age and obesity and we as obstetricians are afforded the rare opportunity to alter the natural course of the disease and change the future health of women and her newborn. We must all have a vision towards Gestational Diabetes Mellitus and a mission not to miss it in any patient and as Obstetricians we should be able to do multitasking so as to reduce the constraints of human resources like dietician, dialectologists and physician in our clinical setting. 75 g Glucose Challenge test (DIPSI) is promising, single step, cost effective one to diagnose Gestational Diabetes Mellitus. Lifestyle Modification with multiple treatment modalities including Oral Hypoglycemics, Insulin can make the diabetic pregnancy comparable to nondiabetic in its maternal and perinatal outcome.
