When should a pregnant woman be tested for gestational diabetes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe multiple times: Maybe 4 times to screen: 1) screen for undiagnosed type 2 diabetes at the first prenatal visit in those with risk factors. 2) screen for gestational diabetes mellitus (gdm) at 24–28 weeks of gestation, 3) screen women with gdm for persistent diabetes at 6–12 weeks after delivery, 4) women with a history of gdm should have lifelong screening for diabetes or prediabetes every 3 years.
