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 suggests that 1 in 6 (16.8%) pregnancies are affected by diabetes. Of this number, 13.6% are affected by pregestational diabetes, while the majority (86.4%) are affected by GDM. This chapter describes the prevalence and clinical characteristics of women diagnosed with diabetes in pregnancy and examines the challenges associated with accurately estimating patterns of disease, particularly in the case of GDM.
