dystocia, and the associated birth injuries are the
main neonatal morbidities associated
with GDM. The management of GDM has altered
markedly in recent years. It is based on universal
screening of blood sugar and to establish a tight
control of serum glucose levels round the clock
in these patients through serial measurements of
blood glucose by home monitoring. Adequate
control of blood sugar has been associated with
improved perinatal outcome (Şendağ et al.,
2001). There is strong evidence which suggests
thatthe reduction of complications can be
significantly achieved byaggressive treatment of
GDM.
