[Screening for gestational diabetes: Still many unsolved issues]

For many years, there is a debate on gestational diabetes screening, including what screening test and thresholds to use. The purpose of this literature review is to determine whether gestational diabetes screening in France meets the 10 definition criteria of the WHO. The DG is a public health problem, with a natural history partially known and detectable at an early stage. Currently, there is no data showing that there is a benefit to treat patient screens by the new criteria. The one-step approach-screening test can only detect fetal complications and not maternal complications. It seems to be acceptable for the population of pregnant women. The diagnostic test and treatment also seem to be acceptable to us. To this day, its reproducibility is uncertain. Screening leads to an increase in obstetric interventions. Several studies found that screening for gestational diabetes is cost-effective but in a different context of care than in France.
