Core Tip	The prevalence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is increasing world-wide, and studies have shown that optimal management of GDM improves pregnancy outcomes. This review summarises the differences in prevalence, clinical profile, management and pregnancy outcomes among women from various ethnic backgrounds who have GDM. Ethnicity is an important consideration in women affected by GDM, particularly in an antenatal service based in a Western society. There are particular challenges in individualising and tailoring medical nutritional therapy and insulin therapy. Also women from certain ethnic groups are at a higher risk of increased foetal and maternal morbidity and mortality. Understanding these challenges is important in providing optimal antenatal care for women of diverse ethnic backgrounds.
