THE EFFECT OF GESTATIONAL DIABETES MELLITUS ON THE FETUS
Abstract
Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) is a prevalent metabolic disorder that occurs during pregnancy, characterized by glucose intolerance with onset or first recognition during gestation. This condition has significant implications for both maternal and fetal health. This review aims to explore the effects of GDM on fetal development and outcomes, examining the underlying mechanisms and potential long-term consequences for the offspring.
