Objectives: Study prevalence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) among pregnant females attending family health center between 24 and 28 weeks of gestation and assessment of risk factors among the studied group. Background: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is the most prevalent metabolic disorder during pregnancy. It is defined as any degree of glucose intolerance during pregnancy. It affects between 2-14% of pregnancies. Screening for (GDM) during pregnancy is highly recommended. Material and Methods: The study was conducted on 250 pregnant women between 24 and 28 weeks gestation who attended a rural family health center in Menufia Governorate, Egypt. Selected participants were interviewed during their antenatal care visits using a questionnaire to assess different demographic criteria of the participants and potential risk factors for GDM. Initial screening was done by a glucose challenge test with 50 g glucose. If the 1-hour blood glucose level exceeded 130 mg/dl, then a 3-hour oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) with 100g glucose was performed and diagnosis was established. Results: Prevalence of GDM among the studied group was 8%. Risk factors found to be significantly associated with GDM were advancing age & BMI ≥ 30, high BP> 140/90, previous history of pre-eclampsia, family history of diabetes and positive obstetric history for induced labor, abortion and large size baby. However socioeconomic status, previous history of hypertension and family history of hypertension failed to demonstrate significant associations with GDM. Conclusion: The prevalence of GDM was found to be 8% among pregnant females attending the studied rural family health center. Controlling risk factors and Screening for early detection are mandatory for better maternal and fetal health.
