The diagnosis is made with glycemia of 92mg / dL or higher numbers at any gestational age a screening still necessary to test Oral Glucose Tolerance (OGTT) 75g gestational age of 24 to 28 weeks. Objective: To determine the incidence of gestational diabetes and risk factors associated in pregnant women who come to receive care in Quero Health Centers and Cevallos. Methodology: observational, descriptive, transversal, 328 pregnant women through a semi-structured form Study.

Conclusions: With the two diagnostic tests (glucose and OGTT) the incidence was 14%, being altered (8.2%) glycemia, and OGTT altered (5.8%). The risk factors most representative regarding diagnosis are multiparity (8.9%), age over 25 years (10.3%), body mass index (BMI) greater than or equal to 25 kg / m2 (8.9%).
