Özet
Pregnancy is associated with hyperinsulinemia due to significant changes in maternal insulin resistance and progressively increasing insulin secretion during gestation. There are lots of risk factors for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Risk factors may be genetic or non-genetic and may be present before or during pregnancy. Knowledge of risk factors is very important to identify patients at risk for GDM. Identifying modifiable risk factors may help in introducing preemptive measures to prevent or minimize the occurrence of GDM for those at risk.
