Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM), a common complication affecting 7-10% of pregnancies worldwide, has been rising due to increasing obesity and sedentary lifestyles. This study, conducted in Tobruk, Libya, analyzed 85 GDM and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) cases between 2020 and 2024. Results highlighted a significant increase in GDM prevalence (73.3% in 2020–2021 to 55.5% in 2024), attributed to unhealthy lifestyles. Complications included higher miscarriage rates (11.11% in 2020–2021 to 55.5% in 2024), fetal macrosomia, congenital anomalies, and delivery complications, primarily among women aged 25–34. Effective glycemic control and a multidisciplinary care approach remain crucial for reducing maternal and neonatal risks.
