[Gestational diabetes: a controversial issue in obstetrics].
The diagnosis and therapy of gestational diabetes (GDM) remains a controversial issue. What is known from the pathophysiological and clinical facts, risks exist for both mother and foetus. In individual cases these risks cannot be estimated exactly. Until the results are available from large randomised controlled and prospective studies, women with GDM should be treated individually, considering the different treatment recommendations.
