Screening for gestational diabetes: updated evidence report and systematic review for the US Preventive Services Task Force.
The objective of this study was to update the 2012 review on screening for gestational diabetes to inform the US Preventive Services Task Force. The investigators concluded that direct evidence on screening vs no screening remained limited. One- vs 2-step screening was not significantly associated with improved health outcomes. At or after 24 weeks of gestation, treatment of gestational diabetes was significantly associated with improved health outcomes.

Factors associated with postpartum diabetes screening in women with gestational diabetes and Medicaid during pregnancy.
This study’s goal was to understand the factors associated with the receipt of postpartum diabetes screening for women with gestational diabetes in a state without Medicaid expansion. Findings showed that prenatal certified diabetes education and access to public transportation were associated with increased screening, the total number of prenatal visits, the use of diabetes medication during pregnancy, and a pregnancy-specific comorbidity index that incorporated age.

Postpartum diabetes screening among low income women with gestational diabetes in Missouri 2010-2015.
This study looked at postpartum screening for type 2 diabetes among low-income women who were previously diagnosed with gestational diabetes. Gestational diabetes increases risk for developing type 2 diabetes 7-fold so it is recommended that screening is done within months after delivery. Results in a Missouri population found that almost 20% were screened within the first year of delivery.

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.
