AADE Practice Paper in Brief: Gestational Diabetes Mellitus

Abstract

in our work as diabetes educators, we frequently work with pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), and in these interactions, there is an opportunity for us to have a critical impact on the health outcomes of both mother and child. The AADe practice paper, Gestational Diabetes Mellitus, discusses screening, diagnosis, and management. There is also a full set of resources and tools available on the AADe website that can help support your clinical work with pregnant women with GDM. Here we provide the highlights, but be sure to check out the full paper and resources online www.diabeteseducator.org/GDM.
