Abstract
This chapter discusses pregnancy in both gestational diabetes (GDM or glucose intolerance first recognized in pregnancy) and type 1 and type 2 diabetes diagnosed prior to pregnancy. Management principles are common to all types of diabetes. GDM is the most common metabolic disease of pregnancy and is associated with several perinatal complications and is defined as diabetes diagnosed in the second or third trimester of pregnancy that was not clearly overt diabetes prior to gestation. Women with type 1 or type 2 diabetes diagnosed prior to pregnancy are classified as having preexisting diabetes mellitus.
