Gestational diabetes diagnostic methods (GD2M) pilot randomized trial.
The researchers tested the feasibility of conducting a pragmatic randomized controlled trial (RCT) comparing the International Association of Diabetes in Pregnancy Study Groups (IADPSG) versus Carpenter-Coustan diagnostic criteria for gestational diabetes (GDM), and examined patient and provider views on GDM screening. They found that both pregnant women and providers value GDM screening, and pregnant women can be recruited to a blinded, randomized GDM screening trial with minimal attrition and missing data.

Screening for type 2 diabetes mellitus: a systematic review for the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force.
This new systematic review of screening for diabetes updating a 2008 USPSTF review concluded that screening did not improve mortality rates after 10 years of follow-up. More evidence is needed to determine the effectiveness of treatments for screen-detected diabetes. Treatment of impaired fasting glucose or impaired glucose tolerance was associated with delayed progression to diabetes.

Reconsidering the age thresholds for type II diabetes screening in the U.S.
In order to examine the optimal age cut-point for opportunistic universal screening (as opposed to targeted screening), the researchers used a nationally representative sample from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2007-2010) and other resources. They found that opportunistic screening among individuals 35 years of age and older could greatly reduce the prevalence of undiagnosed diabetes or pre-diabetes.
