Abstract
Letter in reply: We thank Flack and colleagues for their detailed comments on our review (Med J Aust 2017; 207 (5): 223. doi: 10.5694/mja16.01404). The prevalence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) of 5e10% was based on a prospective study by Moses and colleagues using the Australasian Diabetes in Pregnancy Society criteria, which found a prevalence in Wollongong, New South Wales, of 8.6e10.5% (9.6% overall). Using the more recently adopted International Association of Diabetes and Pregnancy Study Groups diagnostic definition in the same study, the prevalence of GDM was 13.0%.
