TI  - Improving Uptake of Postnatal Checking of Blood Glucose in Women Who Had 
      Gestational Diabetes Mellitus in Universal Healthcare Settings: A Systematic 
      Review.

AB  - The aim of this systematic review is to look at the barriers to uptake and 
      interventions to improve uptake of postnatal screening in women who have had 
      gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Increasing postnatal screening rates could 
      lead to timely interventions that could reduce the incidence of type 2 diabetes 
      mellitus (T2DM), the associated long-term health complications, and the financial 
      burden of T2DM. A systematic review of the literature was undertaken. PubMed, 
      Embase, Medline, CINAHL and the Cochrane library databases were searched using 
      well-defined search terms. Predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria were used 
      to identify relevant manuscripts. Data extractions and quality assessments were 
      performed by one reviewer and checked by a second reviewer. Eleven primary 
      studies of various research design and three systematic reviews were included. We 
      identified seven themes within these studies and these were described in two 
      categories, barriers and interventions. There appeared to be no single 
      intervention that would overcome all the identified barriers, however, reminders 
      to women and healthcare professionals appear to be most effective. Uptake rates 
      of testing for T2DM are low in women with GDM. Interventions developed with 
      consideration of the identified barriers to uptake could promote greater numbers 
      of women attending for follow-up.
