Towards a global consensus on GDM diagnosis: light at the end of the tunnel?
Towards a global consensus on GDM diagnosis: light at the end of the tunnel?
The diagnostic criteria for GDM continue to be debated. The arguments presented here may help to dissipate confusion and help build global consensus.
Hyperglycemia is one of the most common medical complications of pregnancy. The International Diabetes Federation (IDF) estimates that, globally, one in six of the 20 million annual live births (16.8%) occur to women with some form of hyperglycemia; 16% of these relate to diabetes in pregnancy (either pre‐existing or diagnosed during the index pregnancy) and the remaining 84% to gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).1

Abstract
The diagnostic criteria for GDM continue to be debated. The arguments presented here may help to dissipate confusion and help build global consensus.
Hyperglycemia is one of the most common medical complications of pregnancy. The International Diabetes Federation (IDF) estimates that, globally, one in six of the 20 million annual live births (16.8%) occur to women with some form of hyperglycemia; 16% of these relate to diabetes in pregnancy (either pre‐existing or diagnosed during the index pregnancy) and the remaining 84% to gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).1
