Abstract

A brief review presents the results of studies conducted to identify a possible relationship between the vitamin D level in the body of a pregnant woman and the development of gestational diabetes mellitus. It seems possible and appropriate to use vitamin D to prevent the development and treatment of gestational diabetes mellitus, including its severe complications. Currently, however, there are no convincing data on the safety of prolonged use of drugs for mother and fetus, and threshold vitamin D levels for reasonable pharmacological correction have not been determined. The development of pharmacotherapeutic strategies requires carefully planned experimental and clinical studies.
