Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a risk factor for the development of type II diabetes and it is responsible for the morbidity of both mother and child. The aim of this study was to determine retinal findings of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).

We have three groups; the first group consisted of pregnant volunteers with GDM. The second group consisted of healthy pregnant participants. The third group consisted of healthy, non-pregnant women at the reproductive age.
