- Gestational diabetes mellitus
- A type of diabetes mellitus that can occur when a woman is pregnant. In the second half of the pregnancy, the woman may have glucose (sugar) in the blood at a higher-than-normal level. When blood sugar is high, the baby may grow too large, possibly creating difficulty passing through your birth canal. However, when the pregnancy ends, the blood glucose levels return to normal in about 95 percent of all cases.
