Abstract
Screening for and treatment of gestational diabetes mellitus remain matters of considerable debate, yet Kjos and Buchanan convey no sense of this controversy in their recent review (Dec. 2 issue).1 That some pregnancies involve more marked alterations in glucose metabolism than others is certain. Whether the detection and treatment of these outlier cases results in improved maternal or neonatal outcomes is less clear.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
