Gestational Diabetes Research and Management is a research topic within Obstetrics and Gynecology. Science Explorer counts 36k research works in it since 1950. 23.5% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.

This cluster of papers explores the impact of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and related factors such as maternal obesity, hyperglycemia, and metabolic syndrome on pregnancy outcomes, fetal development, and long-term health implications for both mothers and offspring. It covers topics such as diagnosis, classification, treatment, prevention, and long-term consequences of GDM, as well as the association with type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Additionally, it investigates the influence of maternal weight gain, macrosomia, and metabolic imprinting on offspring health.
