Abstract
This study reflects on the BMI of the pregnant women in early pregnancy can be used as a predictive factor for the risk of developing GDM. This will help prevent the development of GDM by healthy diet, exercise and blood sugar monitoring which could modify the risk factor, lead to reduced BMI which eventually reduces the risk of development of GDM. This is a retrospective study. Eighty pregnant women with single pregnancy and primigravida who came for regular ANC visits to the obstetrics clinic were included in this study as per the inclusion criteria. BMI was measure of each woman who was included in the study in her early pregnancy and screening for GDM was done in early pregnancy and at 24 ‐28 weeks of GA and study the association of BMI in early pregnancy with development of GDM. We perform logistic regression to validate the influence of inter‐gestational BMI on the risk of GDM. The findings indicated that age >30 and BMI recorded during 24th to 28th week of pregnancy confirms the influence on the risk of GDM (p value < 0.05).
