Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) Key message 1 — Screen at the right time Pregnant women without previously diagnosed diabetes should be screened for gestational diabetes at 24–28 weeks. Earlier testing may be indicated to identify previously undiagnosed diabetes or early abnormal glucose metabolism. American Diabetes Association Key message 2 — Good glucose control protects mother and baby Medical nutrition therapy, appropriate physical activity, regular glucose monitoring and medication when indicated help reduce pregnancy-related risks. Follow-up screening after delivery is essential. Key take-home message: Gestational diabetes is manageable. Early detection, individualized treatment and postpartum follow-up support healthier outcomes for mother and baby.
