Abstract

Across-sectional institutional-based study was undertaken to know the prevalence of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) among Indian pregnant women. 325 pregnant women were screened for evidence of diabetes who were previously not known to be diabetic. They underwent 75 Gms, 2hour, Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). Chi-square test was done for statistically association of variables in GDM. The results of this study indicate that bad obstetrics history, obese patient on high calorie diet especially non vegetarian diet with less physical activity are highly prone to develop GDM
