Abstract

Diabetes is the metabolic disorder that most often complicates pregnancy, influencing the future of the mother and her child. For the first time, the International Diabetes Federation (FID) estimated, in 2013, cases of hyperglycemia in pregnancy in 0.9 million live births, with a prevalence of 11.4% for the South and Central America region. This undoubtedly impacts the increase in the diabetes epidemic in the world since children exposed in the womb to the effects of hyperglycemia have a higher probability of obesity in childhood and type 2 diabetes (DM2) in adolescence. , while 45% of women have a recurrence of gestational diabetes with the next pregnancy and 63% are at risk of developing DM2.
