摘要：

Gestational diabetes mellitus is defined as carbohydrate intolerance of variable severity first diagnosed during pregnancy. Although universal screening for gestational diabetes mellitus is practiced by more than 75% of obstetricians in the United States, agreement is lacking worldwide regarding the appropriateness of this approach. This article discusses the assumption that some type of screening program is desirable and considers how best to conduct screening and diagnostic testing for gestational diabetes mellitus.
