Material and Methods: A cross sectional analytical study was conducted in Tuaran. Data collection was done by interview method using structured questionnaire and antenatal records review. The study population was all the pregnant women, at and above 24 weeks of gestation who attended the antenatal care clinics in Tuaran District from March to June, 2018.

Results: The prevalence of GDM among all participants in Tuaran District was 28.2%. The risk factors significantly associated with GDM were advanced maternal age (p=0.042), presence of family history of diabetes mellitus (p=0.009) and previous history of GDM (p=0.001).

Promotion of healthy lifestyle, provision of intense health education, quality antenatal care and early detection with proper management of GDM among pregnant women are crucial for prevention and control of GDM and reduction of adverse maternal and foetal outcomes.
