Diabète gestationnel : comment le dépister et le soigner efficacement

Gestational diabetes is a specific form of diabetes that develops only during pregnancy. It disappears after childbirth. However, it indicates a risk for the mother of developing type 2 diabetes later in life. Gestational diabetes, especially when left untreated, exposes both the baby and the mother to sometimes severe complications. This is why it is recommended to screen for it systematically in women who are at risk of developing this type of diabetes.
