Re: Lack of Healthy Options?From: Darach Corcoran (djdc@iol.ie)Wed Mar 27 06:22:08 1996
It really depends on what one means by screening: if you mean routine urine testing for glucose in pregnancy, it is extremely dangerous not to screen in this way. If one means full GTT with all the attached rigmarole, this seems unnecessary as routine, and I would agree with the faceless wonders that this is probably excessive. We screen patients with identifiable risk factors with a short GTT - Fasting 12 hours. fasting blood glucose then a measured 100G glucose load and a 2 hour blood glucose. This policy picks up virtually all significant gestational diabetes, but one still picks up an odd case on just recurrent urinary testing. Regards, Darach

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
