Results: Prevalence of pre-gestational diabetes was 3.4% in our study group. Family history of diabetes, history of GDM in previous pregnancy, history of IUD, History of abortion, Thyroid disorder and candidiasis were found to have significant association with diabetes. Conclusions: As diabetes in pregnancy is a major public health problem, it is mandatory to establish national guidelines for the screening and management of GDM and pre-GDM
