Abstract
The aim was to evaluate frequency and costs of antenatal health care visits related to risk of gestational diabetes (GDM) using Birth Register. Costs among all GDM risk groups were 10-41% larger than non-risk groups. Primary health care is needed to reduce special health care costs related to GDM.
