Gestational Diabetes Mellitus in Alberta
FY 2013-14
Summary
Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) is a complication that occurs in pregnancy. Women who have GDM tend to be at a higher risk for large babies and giving birth through c-sections. A diagnosis of GDM in pregnancy also increases the chances of both the mother and the child developing Type 2 diabetes in the long-term. Our study is going to develop a pregnancy and birth cohort see how many mothers in Alberta were diagnosed with GDM in the last decade and to see what impact this diagnosis had on their and their babies likelihood of developing complications down the road.
