Abstract
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) represents a growing challenge in India and is under‐studied in many North Indian populations. In this cross‐sectional research of 800 pregnant women at 24-28 weeks gestation in a tertiary hospital in North India, we found a GDM prevalence of 19.0% when applying IADPSG criteria. Key risk factors for GDM included maternal age over 30 years, pre‐pregnancy BMI ≥25 kg/mē, family history of diabetes and prediabetes detected early in pregnancy. GDM was significantly associated with increased rates of caesarean delivery and neonatal macrosomia. The high prevalence underscores need for universal screening, earlier detection and tailored preventive measures in similar settings.
