Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) is a type of diabetes that develops during pregnancy and affects women who previously had normal blood sugar levels. It occurs in approximately 10% of pregnancies in the United States each year. This condition arises when the body cannot effectively use insulin, leading to elevated blood sugar levels. While GDM typically resolves after childbirth, it requires careful management to ensure the health of both mother and baby.
