| description | This study aims to review the existing literature on awareness of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) with a particular emphasis on studies from India. The review highlights that the awareness of GDM among the general population requires significant attention. It also identifies a low level of understanding regarding the risks and complications associated with these conditions among participants. Notably, there is a scarcity of literature focused on pregnant women and the availability of awareness programs for this group. The review concludes that enhancing knowledge and awareness of GDM is crucial for public health policies and the successful implementation of the National Program for Prevention of Non-Communicable Diseases |
