Summary

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder with increasing incidence and long term complications. Its incidence differs in various ethnic populations.Gestational DM (GDM) is diagnosed when impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) is first detected during pregnancy. GDM incidence in Jewish and Bedouin women has been rising in recent years. It has been reported in many studies that women who had been diagnosed with GDM are more prone to GDM in their next pregnancies and to DM Type 2.

Appropriate changes in everyday diet and physical exercise may reduce the chances for future GDM and type 2 DM.

The investigators aim was to determine GDM frequency in the Negev area in Jewish and Bedouin populations and to construct a plan for follow up and reduce future problems by changing their life style.
