Abstract

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as glucose intolerance during pregnancy in otherwise healthy women or reduced glucose tolerance following pregnancy termination. In 1995, it was projected that 135 million individuals worldwide had diabetes mellitus; by 2025, that number is expected to rise by almost 300 million. GDM affects about 135.000 pregnant women annually, or 3–5% of all pregnancies. The research objective is to determine the correlation between knowledge and attitudes of pregnant women with visits by pregnant women for random blood sugar and fasting blood sugar tests at 24-28 weeks of pregnancy at the Pringsewu Public Health Center in 2025.

This study is a quantitative study with a cross-sectional design. The population in this study were all pregnant women, namely 30 pregnant women with gestational ages 24-28 weeks at the Pringsewu Public Health Center. The sampling technique used in this study was total sampling. The study used primary data with bivariate Chi-Square analysis.

The study results showed a correlation between knowledge, with a p-value of 0.013 and attitudes with a p-value of 0.045, with visits by pregnant women for Random Blood Sugar and Fasting Blood Sugar examinations at 24-28 weeks of pregnancy at the Pringsewu Public Health Center in 2025. It is hoped that public health centers will enhance the capacity of medical professionals, particularly midwives, to educate expectant mothers about GDS and GDP test
