| Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) | Carbohydrate intolerance of variable severity with onset of first recognition during pregnancy |
| What are three things GDM may result from | Unidentified preexisting disease Unmasking of a compensated metabolic abnormality by the added stress of pregnancy A direct consequence of the altered maternal metabolism stemming from changing hormones |
