Gestational Diabetes Mellitus
Implications for Pre-Screening in Type II
Screening of patients for the condition of "gestational diabetes mellitus" is considered to be an extravagance from the perspective of Lepercq (2004) who considered Universal Screening to be "contentious." However due to the 6.4% mortality rate due to untreated diabetes mellitus as well as the know birth defects and maternal health effects there are those who consider pre-screening for GDM to be vital in terms of the health of the expected mother and expected child.
