Abstract(s)
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and controversy
are old friends. The impact of GDM on maternal and
fetal health has been increasingly recognized. Nevertheless,
universal consensus on the diagnostic methods and
thresholds has long been lacking. Published guidelines
from major societies differ significantly from one another,
with recommendations ranging from aggressive screening
to no routine screening at all. As a result, real-world
practice is equally varied. This article recaps the latest
evidence-based recommendations for the diagnosis and
classification of GDM. It reviews the current evidence base
for intensive multidisciplinary treatment of GDM and provides
recommendations for postpartum management to
delay and/or prevent progression to type 2 diabetes.
