Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is one of the most common metabolic disorders that can affect pregnancy. Its prevalence increases in the same proportion as the epidemic of obesity and overweight. Recognize and treat any degree of impaired glucose affecting pregnancy leads to decreased maternal and fetal, immediate and long-term complications. Despite a wealth of basic and clinical research, there is no single approach to diagnose and treat diabetes during pregnancy. Desirable for our country is to seek uniformity of criteria in the screening and diagnosis of GDM and thus able to have our own casuistry. That is why the Venezuelan Society of Endocrinology and Metabolism has conceived the idea of a Manual of Gestational Diabetes, in collaboration with the Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology of Venezuela, the Venezuelan Society of Internal Medicine and specialists who make up the multidisciplinary care team high-risk pregnant formed with endocrinologists, internists, obstetricians, nutritionists, exercise physiologists and/or biologists exercise and neonatologist so that it can be used both at the primary level and areas of expertise. This manual will focus on prevention, screening, diagnosis, treatment and monitoring of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus and can serve as a basis for integrating health team to serve our patient.
