Prevalence of Hypertension was 52.5% and Hypothyroidism was 17.5% in patients with GDM. In this study, 47.5% of neonates were small for gestational age. 22.5% of neonates developed complications and were admitted to NICU out of which 12.5% had respiratory distress. Macrosomia and Hyperbilirubinemia were seen in 10% and 12.5% cases respectively. Conclusion: GDM is associated with higher maternal and fetal morbidity. Early detection, treatment, monitoring and intervention are essential for short and long-term maternal and fetal complications.
