What current information is available on the impact of gestational diabetes during pregnancy, childbirth, postpartum, and the complications or effects on the newborn, plus associated risks?

Gestational diabetes significantly impacts both maternal and neonatal outcomes, increasing risks for complications such as hypertensive disorders, Cesarean delivery, and NICU admissions. Evidence supports use of CGM and metformin for better outcome management, yet further research is essential to assess long-term effects and optimize postpartum care strategies.
