Abstract

Hyperglycemia in pregnancy due to pre-existing Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is rising globally with increasing rates of risk factors for metabolic disease. This review summarizes current evidence and recommendations from national and international guidelines for diagnosis and management of T2DM and GDM to optimize maternal and neonatal outcomes.
