Purpose: Evaluate the association between the educational level and the level of knowledge about risk factors and complications of gestational diabetes among pregnant women in a hospital in Lima from January to July 2022. Methods: It´s an observational, cross-sectional, and analytical study. The population belonged to the National Teaching Hospital Mother-Children “San Bartolomé” and included 137 pregnant women over 18 years of age with no previous history of diabetes or a health-related profession. Results: Most women were between 18 and 28 years old (45.26%), 54.74% had secondary education, 40.15% were in socioeconomic status C, and 82.48% had not received any informative talks about gestational diabetes (GD). Applying a questionnaire designed to evaluate the level of knowledge about GD we found that 25.55% had a high level of knowledge, which is associated with a higher educational level (p = 0.000), family history of diabetes (p = 0.005) and receiving informative talks about GD (p = 0.024). Therefore, we observed that the chances of higher level of knowledge were related to higher educated women, who had received informative talks and who had family history of diabetes (95% CI: 2.47, 1.76 and 1.93 respectively). Conclusion: There is a significant association between the level of education with the level of knowledge about GD. The level of knowledge found among these pregnant women is higher, and that was related to the family history of diabetes and receiving informative talks on GD.
