title: The changing diagnosis of gestational diabetes mellitus: does anyone miss out?
abstract: Our aim was to identify women diagnosed with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) using 1999 WHO diagnostic criteria but who would be now classified as normal glucose tolerance (NGT) using updated criteria. We demonstrate that this category change affected 3.3% women and they have a limited increased risk of adverse outcomes.
