Implication

Clinical review reveals the spectrum of gestational diabetes and fetal morbidity risks in pregnant women, highlighting the need to balance detection and overtreatment.

Key Points

To review the clinical spectrum, pathophysiology, and management challenges associated with glucose intolerance first identified during pregnancy.
Narrative synthesis of clinical evidence evaluating glucose intolerance onset during pregnancy across diverse glycemia ranges.
Analysis of fetal morbidity risks and clinical management controversies surrounding diagnostic thresholds.
Maternal hyperglycemia shows a clear association with increased fetal morbidity risk across the glycemic spectrum.
Adverse fetal outcomes occur in only a minority of affected cases, creating clinical tension between missed diagnoses and overtreatment.
