Diabetes is the most common medical complication in pregnancy. Women with diabetes in pregnancy can be divided into two groups such as pregestational diabetes which complicates less than 1% of all pregnancies is defined as type 1 (previously referred to as insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus or juvenile-onset diabetes mellitus) or type 2 diabetes (previously referred to as non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus or adult-onset diabetes mellitus) that exists before the pregnancy.

Gestational diabetes is further subdivided according to the degree of severity of the glycemic control disturbance. The risk of major congenital malformations is significantly higher in women with pregestational diabetes mellitus, especially when glycemia is not well controlled during the periconceptional period.
