Objective. Thyroid dysfunction represents common disorder occurring very frequently among women of reproductive age, including pregnancy. The aim of this literature review was to determine in which way thyroid function during pregnancy is associated with GDM. Design. We conducted review of the literature following the basic principles of literature search. Methods. Two researcher independently searched PubMed in the period of last five years (2018-2023) to identify eligible studies regarding thyroid function and GDM. Results. From 51 papers initially found after the inserting key words in PubMed search field 30 were excluded after the title and abstract review. After reading full text of 21 articles, 15 were included in the review. Conclusions. Our review of literature showed not only that two most common disorders during pregnancy were GDM and thyroid dysfunction, but also indicated that they were in positive correlation.
