Gestational diabetes during and after pregnancy [electronic resource] / Catherine Kim, Assiamira Ferrara, editors.

Gestational Diabetes Mellitus is becoming an increasingly prevalent disease as obesity and other chronic diseases are on the rise. It requires careful and informed clinical management as the care received during pregnancy affects not only perinatal health but the risk of developing type 2 diabetes even decades into the future, in both the mother and the child. From epidemiology and pathophysiology to diagnosis and management, covering recent breakthroughs in research and up-to-date developments in clinical practice, "Gestational Diabetes During and After Pregnancy" offers the reader a comprehensive and current look at Gestational Diabetes.
