Abstract

Moynihan has recently suggested that gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a "nonentity" and cited controversy regarding new diagnostic criteria, while McIntyre and Oats have defended the practice of screening for GDM. Robust data associate hyperglycaemia with adverse pregnancy outcomes; and randomised controlled trial data show a beneficial effect of screening and treatment on perinatal outcomes.
