Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a form of glucose intolerance that first appears during pregnancy, typically in the second or third trimester. Its prevalence is steadily increasing worldwide, reaching up to 15% of pregnancies in certain regions, largely due to the parallel rise in obesity and sedentary lifestyles. Although usually temporary, GDM poses a significant public health challenge because of its immediate and long-term consequences for both maternal and fetal health.
