Carpenter & Coustan or NDDG criteria



ACOG recommends
IADPSG 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.



UNITE for Diabetes CPG
on screening &
diagnosis of GDM


6.1 Should universal screening for diabetes
be done among pregnant women?

Recommendation:
All pregnant women should be screened for
gestational diabetes (Level 2, Grade B).


6.2 For pregnant women, when should
screening be done?

Recommendations:
1. All pregnant women should be evaluated at the
ﬁrst prenatal visit for risk factors for diabetes
(Level 4, Grade C).


Risk Factors for
Gestational Diabetes
Prior history of GDM (OR 23.6 [95%CI 11.6, 48.0])3
Glucosuria (OR 9.04 [95%CI 2.6, 63.7]2; PPV 50% 4)
Family history of diabetes (OR 7.1 [95%CI 5.6, 8.9]1; OR 2.74
[95%CI 1.47, 5.11]3)
First-degree relative with type 2 diabetes (PPV 6.7%)4
First-degree relative with type 1 diabetes (PPV 15%)4

screening be done?

Recommendations:
2. High-risk women should be tested at the
soonest possible time (Level 3, Grade B).


screening be done?

Recommendations:
3. Routine testing for gestational diabetes is
recommended at 24-28 weeks age of gestation
for women with no risk factors (Level 3, Grade B).


screening be done?

Recommendations:
4. Testing for gestational diabetes should still be
carried out in women at risk, even beyond 24 to
28 weeks age of gestation (Level 3, Grade C).


6.3 Which tests should be used to screen pregnant
women for gestational diabetes?

Recommendation:
An oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), preferably
the 75-g OGTT, should be used to screen for
gestational diabetes (Level 3, Grade B).


6.4 What criteria will be used to interpret
the 75-g OGTT?

Recommendation:

The criteria put forth by the International
Association of Diabetes & Pregnancy Study Groups
(IADPSG) will be used to interpret the 75-g OGTT
(Level 3, Grade B).
