Postpartum diabetes screening for women with gestational diabetes in Japan: an administrative database study
We report suboptimal screening rates for women with a GDM history in Japan. This study highlights the need for continuous monitoring and the development of effective strategies for early screening and intervention in this high-risk group. These strategies should include system-level improvements in screening methods and enhance patient awareness through antenatal education prior to delivery.
