@AnKing-Maintainers AMBOSS makes no mention of screening for gestational diabetes prior to 20 weeks. I think this card should have been written to say “pre”-gestational diabetes?

@AnKing-Maintainers UWorld Step 2 105694 confirms:

However, early screening for undiagnosed pregestational diabetes mellitus (eg, GCT at the initial prenatal visit) is indicated for high-risk patients with obesity plus ≥1 of the following:

  • Prior GDM

  • Prior macrosomic infant (birth weight ≥4 kg [8.8 lb])

  • Family history of type 2 DM (first-degree relative)

  • Polycystic ovary syndrome (as suggested by this patient’s irregular, anovulatory menstrual cycles)

  • Maternal age ≥40

Identifying undiagnosed pregestational diabetes mellitus during early pregnancy can help optimize glucose control and decrease the risk of pregnancy complications. Even if the early screening test is normal, a repeat 1-hr GCT is performed at 24-28 weeks gestation.
