Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is raised globally leading to substantial maternal and foetal morbidity. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of GDM among pregnant women delivering in different private polyclinics in Tripoli, Libya. A cross-sectional study was conducted among pregnant women who were admitted to gynecology department of in different medical polyclinics, Tripoli, Libya from Jan to Dec 2022. The prevalence of GDM in pregnant women increased with increase of the gestational age to reach maximum (86%) at the third trimester of gestation. About 31% (96 patients) anemic pregnant women were observed in 312 GDM. Careful surveillance is required for these pregnancies in high-risk units for early detection and treatment of possible complications, in order to try to reduce maternal and neonatal morbidities.
