Aim: To elicit information on the perception of doctors, allied health care professionals (HCPs) and other associated staff about GDM and the management strategies for GDM followed by them. Methods: A survey was conducted among doctors, allied HCPs and other associated staff working in hospitals and other private clinics using the purposive sampling criterion. A validated questionnaire was used to understand the perception about managing GDM, screening, assessment, diagnosis, intervention and follow-up of GDM women. Descriptive statistics were reported as the frequency of the total number of responses for each question. Results: Although greater than half of the respondents stated routine screening of all pregnant women for GDM at their first visit, the screening lacked to identify those at risk of developing GDM. No specific tool for GDM risk identification was found to be used in any of the surveyed hospitals. The perception of doctors and allied HCPs showed significant difference towards achieving normoglycaemia in GDM through MNT and exercise. Difference was also seen in the preferred drug of choice for GDM among obstetricians and diabetologists. Conclusion: The survey strongly recommends GDM risk screening for all pregnant women and to initiate early lifestyle interventions thereby delaying or preventing the onset of GDM.
