      region.

AB  - INTRODUCTION: The present study seeks to evaluate the prevalence and outcomes of 
      gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) from Jammu region. METHODS: During the period 
      of study, women at 24th to 28th week of gestation were investigated for the 
      presence of GDM according to Diabetes In Pregnancy Study Group India (DIPSI) 
      guidelines. The maternal and fetal outcomes were recorded and compared with (a) 
      non-diabetic control group and (b) non-interventional untreated GDM group. 
      RESULTS: The overall prevalence of GDM was found to be 6.94%. In the untreated 
      group, family history of diabetes was 24.19%, caesarean section 22.58% and 
      preterm delivery 16.13%, whereas the prevalence of macrosomia was 16.2% and 
      shoulder dystocia 6.45%. These figures were found to be significantly higher when 
      compared to the data obtained from the treated GDM group which was as follows: 
      caesarean section 8.5%, preterm delivery 4.2%, macrosomia 10% and shoulder 
      dystocia 1.2%. CONCLUSION: The study emphasizes the importance of screening for 
      GDM and timely optimum intervention for a significant positive effect on both 
      maternal as well as foetal outcomes in pregnancy. This also builds a strong case 
      for adherence to DIPSI guidelines in diagnosis and management of GDM.
