Gestational diabetes is defined as carbohydrate intolerance of variable severity with
onset or first recognition during pregnancy [
[1]
]. This definition applies regardless of antepartum insulin requirement or postpartum
persistence of diabetes. Furthermore, this definition does not exclude the possibility
of unrecognized glucose intolerance that may have antedated the pregnancy [
