Abstract

BACKGROUND: Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) is one of the most common medical complications during pregnancy. In the Gulf region, the prevalence of GDM is higher than in other parts of the world. Thus, there is a need for the early detection of GDM to avoid critical health conditions in newborns and post-pregnancy complexities of mothers.
