Key Points

To assess the impact of maternal diabetes on fetal organ development through ultrasound measurements.
Comparative study included 126 pregnant women divided into GDM, PreGDM, and control groups.
Ultrasonographic measurements of fetal pancreatic circumference, liver length, and subcutaneous fat thickness were obtained.
Maternal demographic data and birth parameters were collected from all participants.
ROC analysis was conducted to evaluate the diagnostic performance for detecting GDM.
Significant differences in fetal organ measurements between diabetic and control groups were observed.
Fetal pancreatic circumference increased in GDM and PreGDM compared to controls.
Fetal liver length also showed significant increases in diabetic cases versus controls.
