TI  - When are we Going to Settle the Diagnostic Criteria of Gestational Diabetes 
      Mellitus?
PG  - 70-72
AB  - Guidelines to diagnose Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) have changed a number 
      of times from O'Sullivan and Mahan, Carpenter and Coustan, World Health 
      Organization, American Diabetes Association to that of International Association 
      of Diabetes in Pregnancy Study Group (IADPSG). The IADPSG guideline was based on 
      Hyperglycaemia and Adverse Pregnancy Outcome (HAPO) study which was performed in 
      caucasian population only and thus literally cannot be considered as 
      international. Recently a study commented that this guideline needs revision for 
      standardization of this strategy for diagnosing GDM. Based on a prospective 
      study, Diabetes in Pregnancy Study Group India (DIPSI) recommended A single step 
      procedure of diagnosing GDM with 2hr PG > 140 mg/dl after 75g of oral glucose 
      administered irrespective of the last meal timing. This guideline has been 
      approved by the Ministry of Health Government of India, WHO, IDF and Federation 
      of Gynaecologists and Obstetricians Society (FIGO). National Institute of 
      Clinical Excellence (NICE) also recognises cut off value, 2hr PG > 140 mg/dl 
      based on a study in multi ethnic population of UK. Hence, we can safely conclude, 
      A Single Step procedure has settled the criteria for diagnosing GDM.
