AB  - BACKGROUND: The prevalence of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus has been on the rise. 
      With the dramatic increase in the prevalence of overweight, obesity, and 
      inactivity amongst the population, it's becoming a common problem affecting 
      antenatal women and their offspring. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: A prospective 
      cross-sectional study was carried out involving antenatal women between 24-28 
      weeks of gestation at a tertiary care centre in a rural part of Gujarat. Patients 
      were screened using the Diabetes in Pregnancy Study Group India (DIPSI) 
      guidelines. Analysis was carried out using Chi-square and ANOVA test. RESULTS: 
      Patients having PG2BS >/=140 mg/dl were diagnosed as having Gestational Diabetes 
      Mellitus (GDM), while those having PG2BS values between 120-139 mg/dl were 
      diagnosed as having Gestational Glucose Intolerance (GGI). Out of the 300 
      patients screened, we found an overall prevalence of 52 (17.33%) having GDM and 
      65 (21.67%) having GGI. Most patients belonged to the age bracket of 21-30 years 
      across all groups. The prevalence of GDM in rural antenatal women was 23 (44.2%) 
      and in semi-urban antenatal women was 25 (48.1%) while GGI in the rural antenatal 
      women was 45 (69.2%) followed by semi-urban antenatal women 19 (29.2). We found 
      that Occupation, Residence, Lifestyle, Socio-Economic Class, Family history of 
      Diabetes Mellitus, Body Mass Index (BMI) were all statistically significant 
      whereas Antenatal Complications and Perinatal outcomes weren't. CONCLUSION: With 
      such a high prevalence of GGI, almost equivalent to GDM, it is important to 
      identify patients having GGI and monitor them to prevent progression to GDM by 
      starting an appropriate treatment modality.
