Postprandial Hyperglycaemia Screening and Pregnancy Outcomes‐Lessons From <scp>COVID</scp> ‐19
In our study, the Australian COVID-19 GDM screening protocol, which includes initial fasting glucose testing, reduced the need for an OGTT in 67% of pregnant women. Diagnosis and treatment for postprandial hyperglycaemia in women with lower FBG should consider the benefits, as well as the financial, logistical and psychological costs involved.
