Gestational diabetes is a form of diabetes that occurs during pregnancy. Typically seen in the second or third trimester, and usually resolves after the baby is born. It is estimated to affect between 2% to 10% of pregnancies. There is an increase in the incidence due to factors such as obesity and older maternal age.
