Consensus panel proposes new diagnostic criteria for gestational diabetes
To start, discard the 1-hour glucose loading test and the 3-hour OGTT, a global group says.
Are you going to sign on, or remain an “OBskeptitrician”?

Robert L. Barbieri, MD
Editor in Chief obg@qhc.com To and fro, obstetricians and endocrinologists have long debated the relative value of diagnosing and treating gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). No doubt, significant health advantages can follow from identifying and treating women who have GDM, including: • protecting the fetus from macrosomia and a lifetime of excess body fat and obesity • avoiding birth injury, such as shoulder dystocia, and life-long paralytic disability • early recognition of a group of women at risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus, which can result in cardiovascular disease and premature death when undertreated. 1 - 6

Setting thresholds is a key sticking point

A fundamental issue with establishing diagnostic criteria for GDM, however, is that a continuum relationship exists between, on one hand, the maternal circulating glucose concentration below a level diagnostic of type 2 diabetes mellitus and, on the other hand, such outcomes as macrosomia, neonatal hyperglycemia, preeclampsia, preterm delivery, shoulder dystocia, birth injury, hyperbilirubinemia, and admission to a neonatal intensive care nursery. That is why there's been a need for an expert consensus panel to establish glucose cutoffs that separate a “normal” state from GDM, based on an analysis of benefits and risks.
In June 2008, the International Association of Diabetes and Pregnancy Study Group convened 225 experts, from 40 countries, to review data and establish new criteria for diagnosing GDM. 7 The panel decided that its target for detailed analysis should be a maternal glucose concentration that resulted in an increased risk of 1.75 for various adverse outcomes.
