Advocates call for earlier screening for gestational diabetes

Management of gestational diabetes should include earlier testing during pregnancy, as well as testing in the postpartum period, according to a series of papers published in The Lancet. Screening is usually done during the second half of pregnancy, but the authors note that diagnosis and treatment is especially beneficial before 14 weeks of pregnancy.
