Abstract
In a retrospective cohort of 5801 births from individuals with gestational diabetes, 363 (6%) completed 4-12-week postpartum screening for GDM and had evidence of ongoing clinical care in our system. Among these, only half completed recommended type 2 diabetes screening 1-3 years postpartum. Screening rates did not vary by demographic or clinical factors and were primarily performed by primary care clinicians, highlighting persistent gaps in long-term diabetes surveillance after gestational diabetes.
