Overview

Screening

Screening can be performed during the first prenatal visit especially, if mother has risk factors for GDM. If the result is negative or test was not done during prenatal care, 24-28 weeks is the best time for screening mothers.^[1]^[2]

2016 American Diabetes Association Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes (DO NOT EDIT)^[3]

Screening for Gestational Diabetes (GDM)

"1. Test for undiagnosed type 2 diabetes at the first prenatal visit in those with risk factors, using standard diagnostic criteria. (Level of Evidence: B)"
"2. Test for gestational diabetes mellitus at 24–28 weeks of gestation in pregnant women not previously known to have diabetes. (Level of Evidence: A)"
"3. Screen women with gestational diabetes mellitus for persistent diabetes at 6–12 weeks postpartum, using the oral glucose tolerance test and clinically appropriate nonpregnancy diagnostic criteria (Level of Evidence: E)"
"4. Women with a history of gestational diabetes mellitus should have lifelong screening for the development of diabetes or prediabetes at least every 3 years. (Level of Evidence: B)"
"5. Women with a history of gestational diabetes mellitus found to have prediabetes should receive lifestyle interventions or metformin to prevent diabetes. (Level of Evidence: A)"
