As a metabolic disease, gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is characterized by abnormality in both glucolipid metabolism and energy conversion, which might severely impair the maternal and child health. Metabolomics, together with genomics, transcriptomics and proteomics, are emerging research technology focusing on the overall physiological and pathological states of the body system. This article summarized the advances of researches in metabolomics in GDM from the perspective of methodology to the research prospect in this field.
