AB  - Introduction. Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is defined as carbohydrate 
      intolerance of variable degree with onset or recognition during pregnancy. As 
      prevalence of diabetes is linked to impaired glucose tolerance during antenatal 
      period, routine antenatal screening of GDM is required. However, screening tests 
      for GDM remain controversial. Objective. To review different diagnostic criteria 
      for GDM. Materials and Methods. Freely accessible, full-text articles from 1964 
      to 2015, available in PubMed in English language, pertaining to screening of GDM 
      were reviewed. Results. First diagnostic criteria for GDM in 1964 by O'Sullivan 
      and Mahan, modified by the National Diabetes Data Group (NDDG) in 1979 and 
      Carpenter in 1982. The cut-off value as per WHO definition of GDM was 140 mg/dL, 
      2 hours after 75 g glucose intake. Diabetes in Pregnancy Study Group India 
      (DIPSI), in 2006, endorsed WHO criteria but irrespective of the last meal 
      timings. Being cost-effective, it formed the basis of national guidelines for 
      Indians in 2014. Conclusions. As typical clinical scenarios are usually varied, 
      practical guidelines that meet the constraints of low-resource settings like 
      India are required.
