Type: article
Abstract: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) refers to varying degrees of abnormal glucose metabolism that occur during pregnancy and excludes patients previously diagnosed with diabetes. GDM is a unique among the four subtypes of diabetes classified by the international World Health Organization standards. Although GDM patients constitute a small proportion of the total number of diabetes cases, the incidence of GDM has risen significantly over the past decade, posing substantial risk to pregnant women and infants. Therefore, it warrants considerable attention. The pathogenesis of GDM is generally considered to resemble that of type II diabetes, though it may have distinct characteristics. Analyzing blood biochemical proteins in the context of GDM can help elucidate its pathogenesis, thereby facilitating more effective prevention and management strategies. This article reviews this critical clinical issue to enhance the medical community's sufficient understanding of GDM.
