Abstract

Implementation of the International Association of Diabetes and Pregnancy Study Groups (IADPSG) and the World Health Organization 2013 (WHO 2013) recommendations leads to an increased prevalence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) due to more stringent criteria and early screening of women at high risk for diabetes in pregnancy (DIP) (1,2). IADPSG members now recommend that their GDM criteria should not be used in early pregnancy but have not provided alternative criteria (3). We have compared the characteristics of overweight/obese women early in pregnancy, with and without GDM using the new criteria, to assess whether those testing positive are metabolically distinct.
