The need for glucose control in pregnant women is primarily aimed at preventing the development of gestational diabetes and avoiding adverse pregnancy outcomes such as macrosomia, fetal growth restriction, and fetal malformations caused by gestational diabetes.
Gestational diabetes mellitus usually refers to diabetes mellitus that occurs during pregnancy when glucose metabolism is normal before pregnancy.
