What this trial studies

This observational study focuses on gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and its short-term and long-term consequences for both mothers and their offspring. It aims to establish a cohort of pregnant women diagnosed with GDM and follow their health outcomes, including risks of obesity, type 2 diabetes, and other health issues in both mothers and children. The study will collect biological samples and monitor various health parameters over time to better understand the implications of GDM. By systematically tracking these outcomes, the research seeks to identify potential interventions to mitigate risks associated with GDM.
