AB  - Gestational diabetes or carbohydrate metabolism disorder is first determined and started during
pregnancy. Regarding the significance of this disease and frequency difference and risky factors in different
areas, the purpose of this sectional study is to determine frequency of gestational diabetes and its risk factors
for pregnant women visiting Tehran medical care centers. Such sectional study is done on 2033 pregnant
mothers in Tehran prenatal clinics by a futuristic view. At the beginning of start to study samples, we applied
the questionnaires and took blood samples for necessary tests. These mothers have been followed up from the
entrance to study till after the pregnancy. In this study, GCT has been done for screening gestational diabetes
within 24-28 weeks of pregnancy that this test have been done by consuming 50 g blood glucose 1 h after lunch
and 130≥GTT or NDDG test have been done by 200 g edible glucose. SPSS26 software, independent t-test and
K2 have been utilized for data analysis. Total 72 mothers (7%) out of 2033 pregnant mothers are suffering from
gestational diabetes. There is a significant relation between the age of samples and gestational diabetes. There
were no any significant relation among number of birth, number of pregnancy, BMI, weight before birth,
gestational diabetes background, experience of diabetes among first-degree relatives, prenatal death experience
and fetal abnormalities background. Gestational diabetes distribution is average in Tehran. Due to high
probability of inappropriate consequences of gestational diabetes, attention to the age of pregnant mothers
in screening for preventing circumstances and disease control is highly necessary. Regarding the results of
present study, it is also recommended that general screening is better than screening based on risk factors.
