The most clinically and cost-effective methods of screening for GDM remain uncertain and the long-term impact for the offspring of intrauterine exposure to antidiabetic medication remains unclear.
Abstract
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is the most common metabolic disturbance during pregnancy. The prevalence is rising and correlates with the increase in maternal obesity over recent decades. The etiology of GDM is complex, with genetic and environmental factors implicated in mechanistic and epidemiological studies. GDM begets important short- and long-term health risks for the mother, developing fetus, and offspring. This includes the high likelihood of subsequent maternal type 2 diabetes (T2DM), and possible adverse cardiometabolic phenotypes in the offspring. The most clinically and cost-effective methods of screening for GDM remain uncertain. Whilst treatments with lifestyle and pharmacological interventions have demonstrated short-term benefits, the long-term impact for the offspring of intrauterine exposure to antidiabetic medication remains unclear.

Effectiveness of telemedicine for pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus: an updated meta-analysis of 32 randomized controlled trials with trial sequential analysis.

TL;DR: Compared to standard care, telemedicine interventions can decrease the glycaemic levels of patients with GDM more effectively and reduce the risk of maternal and neonatal/foetal complications.

Artificial Flora Algorithm-Based Feature Selection with Gradient Boosted Tree Model for Diabetes Classification.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a model to classify the three diabetes type diagnoses according to multiple patient attributes, such as demographics, vital signs, laboratory tests, medications, from the patients' electronic health records.

International association of diabetes and pregnancy study groups recommendations on the diagnosis and classification of hyperglycemia in pregnancy.

TL;DR: The Brazilian study provided evidence that adverse perinatal outcomes are associated with levels of maternal glycemia below those diagnostic of GDM by American Diabetes Association or World Health Organization criteria, however, the results were potentially confounded by the treatment of G DM.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus after gestational diabetes: a systematic review and meta-analysis

TL;DR: A comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis of cohort studies in which women who had developed type 2 diabetes after gestational diabetes were followed up between Jan 1, 1960, and Jan 31, 2009 to assess the strength of association between these conditions and the effect of factors that might modify the risk.

Gestational diabetes and the incidence of type 2 diabetes: a systematic review.

TL;DR: Differences in rates of progression between ethnic groups was reduced by adjustment for various lengths of follow-up and testing rates, so that women appeared to progress to type 2 diabetes at similar rates after a diagnosis of GDM.
