Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder which has become a rapidly growing issue worldwide. It causes high blood glucose levels which leads to various complications. Type 1 diabetes has been historically, and continues to be, the most common type of diabetes in children and adolescents, although type 2 diabetes is increasingly diagnosed in youth [1,2]. Another type of diabetes is gestational diabetes which is defined as carbohydrate intolerance that begins or is first recognized during pregnancy [3].
