AB  - BACKGROUND: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a metabolic disorder defined 
      as glucose intolerance with the onset or first recognition during pregnancy. 
      Women with GDM are at increased risk for adverse obstetric and perinatal outcome. 
      Hence, it is imperative that an early detection and management of the disease is 
      done to ensure better maternal and fetal outcomes. AIMS: This study was done to 
      evaluate the prevalence of gestational diabetes using diabetes in pregnancy Study 
      Group India (DIPSI) criteria and further assess its feto-maternal outcome in 
      western Rajasthan. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study was carried out in 500 
      patients between 24 and 28 weeks of gestation, attending the antenatal outdoor. 
      These patients were given 75 g oral glucose irrespective of the meals and their 
      plasma glucose was estimated at 2 h. Patients with plasma glucose values ΃140 
      mg/dl were labeled as GDM and the rest as the control or the non-GDM group. All 
      GDM patients were followed up and treated with diet and/or insulin therapy till 
      delivery to know maternal and fetal outcomes. RESULTS: The prevalence of GDM in 
      this study was 6.6%. Maternal and fetal complications in the GDM group were much 
      higher than in the non-GDM group. Hypertension, vaginal candidiasis, and abruptio 
      placentae were the common maternal complications, while macrosomia and 
      stillbirths occurred in the fetuses. CONCLUSION: GDM as a disease entity 
      adversely affects maternal and fetal outcomes. This also builds a strong case for 
      following DIPSI guidelines in diagnosis and management of GDM.
