Overview
Classification
There are 2 types of gestational diabetes (diabetes which began during pregnancy):
- Type A1: diet modification is sufficient to control glucose levels
- Type A2: insulin or other medications are required
Additionally, it is useful to classify different forms of diabetes during pregnancy which existed prior to pregnancy:
- Type B: onset at age 20 or older or with duration of less than 10 years
- Type C: onset at age 10-19 or duration of 1-19 years
- Type D: onset before age 10 or duration greater than 20 years
- Type F: diabetic nephropathy
- Type R: diabetic retinopathy
- Type H: diabetes with ischemic heart disease
- Type T: diabetes requiring kidney transplant
