Point: Universal Screening for Gestational Diabetes Mellitus
نویسندگان
چکیده
G estational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is one of the most common medical disorders found in pregnancy. Rates can range from 2 to 10%, and sometimes much higher, depending on the population being tested and the diagnostic criteria being used (1). The prevalence of GDM ultimately reflects the background rate of type 2 diabetes. There has also been an increase in the rate of GDM over the last generation, possibly related to community lifestyle factors as well as better case ascertainment (2,3).
