title: Expert consensus on gestational diabetes mellitus. Methods and organization.
abstract: Reminder of the aim of clinical practice recommendations (CPR). The ever more rapid development of new techniques and the diffusion of large amounts of information in the medical literature make it difficult for clinicians to assimilate and synthesize everything, giving rise to major variations in practices that are sometimes inappropriate or even unnecessary. This situation has led several countries to establish recommendations for treatment, diagnosis, prevention methods and disease care. These recommendations aim to help clinicians in decision-making by offering a synthesis with a certain level of scientific proof or professional consensus.
