Statement of the Problem: Women with assisted reproductive technology has been associated with an increased risk of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). The use of IVF is rapidly increasing but the adverse effects and complications caused by IVF are not studied and acknowledged. Furthermore, current guidelines on GDM have no recommendations regarding IVF pregnancies. Methodology & Theoretical Orientation: the aim of the presentation is to review the present data on IVF and the associated risk of developing GDM. Findings: The present review is important as the incidences of IVF pregnancies, maternal obesity and GDM have continued to increase. It is important to emphasize that IVF is a risk factor for GDM, as it could mean the possibility of better prevention of GDM. Clinicians could also better inform patients about the possible GDM risk of IVF. The usage of IVF should be considered in the prevention of GDM and whether all IVF started pregnancies should be screened for GDM by OGTT. Conclusion & Significance: Women with IVF procedures should be screened for GDM because IVF is a risk factor for GDM, and is important for the prevention of GDM in the future.
