Summary
Diabetes in pregnancy can be classified as either pre-existing diabetes mellitus, if the diabetes is recognized before pregnancy, the most frequent forms being type 1 and type 2 diabetes, or as gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), if diagnosed in pregnancy. The latter group may also cover women with undiagnosed pre-existing diabetes, as the definition of GDM is abnormal glucose tolerance or hyperglycaemia diagnosed for the first time in pregnancy [1]. GDM is one of the most frequent medical conditions complicating pregnancy, and affects up to almost 20% of the pregnancies in Europe depending on the population and criteria used (Table 27.1) [2].
