Postpartum glucose testing for women with gestational diabetes mellitus: Improving regional recall rates.
Our aim was to evaluate attendance for postpartum glucose testing among women attending five antenatal centres with a diagnosis of GDM in the preceding pregnancy. A central, regional coordinator who made verbal and written contact with each individual facilitated a favourable recall rate of 75%.
