“…Other findings of the study exhibit significant association among education, family history of DM (P= 0.05), meal plan (P= 0.03) and maintaining nutrition (P= 0.01) with awareness of GDM. These findings are consistent with study conducted in Malaysia 39 where patients with higher education, family history of DM had better knowledge about GDM.…”

Background: A very common medical condition during pregnancy is Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) which has become a global health concern, not only for its higher prevalence, but also because it can be a predisposing factor for type 2 DM and causes other increased health risk for both mother and their offspring in later life. Objective: The objective of the study was to compare knowledge of GDM including source of knowledge, treatment, awareness about GDM and impact of GDM on the baby among mothers with GDM and healthy pregnant mothers. Methodology: The study was a cross-sectional study conducted in Cumilla city from May to October 2016. Eighty-nine participants attending the outpatient department of two hospitals and one antenatal clinic in Cumilla city were selected. A structured questionnaire and in-depth interview method was used to obtain data. Result: Significant difference has been found in knowledge between GDM patients and normal pregnant women regarding source of knowledge (p=0.01), treatment of GDM (p=0.000), risk factors of GDM (p=0.01), problems in managing GDM (p=0.003), nutrition maintenance (p=0.006) and physical exercise (p=0.000). No significant difference has been found in GDM awareness (p=0.83) and its impact on the baby (p=0.28) in two groups. Awareness of GDM is found to be associated with higher education (p=0.000), family history of DM (p=0.05), meal plan (p=0.03) and maintaining nutrition (p=0.01). Conclusion: Knowledge about GDM is poor among pregnant women, especially among normal pregnant women. Journal of Current and Advance Medical Research 2019;6(1):32-37

“…This was consistent with several studies that found a positive relationship between age and knowledge of DM (Ding, Teng, & Koh, 2006;Wee et al, 2002). Further, while some studies found a lower level of knowledge of DM among older people (Babaee et al, 2007;Bruce et al, 2003;Çaliskan et al, 2006;He & Wharrad, 2007;Hussain, Yusoff, & Sulaiman, 2014;Murata, et al, 2003), other studies revealed no association between age and knowledge of DM (Gunay et al, 2006;Murugesan et al, 2007;Yun et al, 2007).…”

“…Choi et al (2000) and Huidobro et al (2010) found that pregnant women who had DM patients in their families were more knowledgeable about GDM. Hussain et al (2014) found that the highest mean knowledge score among GDM patients was recorded based on the family history of DM.…”

“…The results showed that the participants have a minimal level of understanding about the knowledge regarding the complications. Hussain et al (2014) found that participants had the lowest knowledge of the management of GDM. They identified a number of factors that hinder the task of effective GDM self-management.…”

“…Educational level seems to be the most significant predictor of GDM knowledge (Al Shafaee et al 2008;Choi et al, 2000;Choi et al, 2001;Hussain et al, 2014). Many studies have depicted that family history plays a significant role in creating awareness among participants.…”

The paper aims to review the previous literature conducted till date on knowledge of Diabetes Mellitus (DM) and Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) across the globe, focussing more on the studies from the Indian context. The review posits that the knowledge and awareness of Diabetes and Gestational Diabetes among the larger population needs attention. Additionally, knowledge of the risks and complications is low among participants. Significantly limited literature was available on antenatal women and on the provision of awareness programmes for such participants. The review concludes with the observation that the knowledge and awareness about DM and GDM has important implications for public health policies and specifically for the implementation of National Diabetes Prevention/Control Programmes.
