In this lecture, Assoc Professor Tang Wong, an endocrinologist at the Bankstown-Lidcombe Diabetes Centre, provides an in-depth analysis of gestational diabetes (GDM) management, highlighting the importance of early intervention for both mothers and infants. He discusses the historical context behind GDM treatment, the complications arising from maternal hyperglycemia, and the long-term health implications for mothers and children. Key studies like the A-Choice and MFMU are reviewed, reinforcing the benefits of GDM treatment in reducing adverse outcomes. Assoc Professor Tang Wong advocates for a multidisciplinary care approach, emphasizing tailored dietary strategies and the possible role of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) technology in improving patient management.
