Screening of Gestational Diabetes in Kenyatta National Hospital, Kenya

Gestational diabetes is a common medical condition complicating pregnancies worldwide with a global prevalence estimate of 4-14%. Despite this high prevalence, there is still lack of proper screening, diagnostic and management guidelines for this condition in spite of the attendant risks to both mother and her unborn baby. There is still a lot of discussion as to the best screening method and even who and when to screen for this condition.
