Adherence to postpartum screening in women diagnosed with gestational diabetes: a retrospective single-centre experience in Switzerland
Our study indicates that adherence to postpartum screening after gestational diabetes mellitus is low but in line with the existing experience. This is of particular concern as 1 of 4 women undergoing postpartum screening show some sort of disturbed glucose metabolism. In particular, women with higher first trimester HbA1c and/or obesity may warrant closer observation and motivation for testing as the risk for persistent metabolic disorders is increased.
