What this trial studies

This observational study aims to monitor and understand the prevalence and implications of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) among pregnant women. It focuses on identifying risk factors such as maternal age and weight gain during pregnancy, as well as the socio-economic consequences of diabetes. Participants will be enrolled during pregnancy or postpartum, provided they meet specific inclusion criteria. The study seeks to enhance early detection and management of GDM to improve health outcomes for mothers and their children.
