Implications of

Philippine Diabetes CPG has partially
adopted the IADPSG consensus by
endorsing the HAPO-derived thresholds for
the 75-g OGTT.

IADPSG
ACOG recommends
against IADPSG consensus
1.All pregnant women should be
screened for GDM by patient
history, clinical risk factors or a
50-g, 1-hour loading test to
determine blood glucose levels.
ACOG Committee on Obstetric Practice. Screening & Diagnosis of
Gestational Diabetes Mellitus. Obstetrics & Gynecology 2011; 118(3):751-3

IADPSG
ACOG recommends
against IADPSG consensus
2.The diagnosis of GDM can be
made based on the result of the
100-g, 3h OGTT.
Carpenter & Coustan or NDDG criteria

IADPSG
ACOG recommends
against IADPSG
consensus
3.Diagnosis of GDM based on
the 1-step screening and
diagnosis test outlined in the
IADPSG guidelines is not
recommended at this time
because there is no evidence that
diagnosis using these criteria leads to
clinically signiﬁcant improvement in
maternal or newborn outcomes, and it
would lead to a signiﬁcant increase in
healthcare costs.

The ACOG... recommends that before
the testing approach and diagnostic criteria
are changed, implications of such
changes should be studied.

Although the new diagnostic criteria for GDM apply globally,
center-to-center differences occur in GDM frequency
and relative diagnostic importance of
fasting, 1-h and 2-h glucose levels.

Given that there is a continuum of risk,
no criteria will ever be comprehensive.
Given that the criteria are based on a
consensus, there will always be
an opportunity for divergent opinions.

at delivery, shoulder dystocia etc
Fetal: hypoglycemia, birth weight, NICU admission, LGA, SGA, respiratory
distress syndrome, hyperbilirubinemia etc

Metformin is comparable to insulin in glycemic control and

Diabetes 2012;61:3167–3171
Median time to diabetes in autoantibody-negative breastfeeding
women is 12.3 y vs 2.3 y in women who did not breastfeed.
Breastfeeding should be encouraged among these
women because it offers a safe and feasible
low-cost intervention to reduce the risk of
subsequent diabetes in this high-risk population.
