Abstract: This descriptive study aims to assess the knowledge of gestational diabetes mellitus among pregnant women during antepartum visits at selected hospitals in Haridwar, Uttarakhand. A structured interview schedule was used to collect data from 30 participants selected via non-probability sampling. The study revealed that a significant number of pregnant women had limited knowledge of GDM, with associations noted between knowledge levels and demographic factors such as education, religion, and information sources. The findings underscore the need for improved health education programs targeting maternal health.
