RE: [ozmidwifery] Henci Goer's Article on GD

[Michelle Windsor]

I agree. There seems to be a real misconception even amongst obstetricians that gestational diabetes has the same risks as pre-existing diabetes.  A couple of years ago I did a bit of research on it for my masters and could find no evidence that this was so.  And according to cochrane the  OGT test is not reproducible 50-70% of the time.

The best way for those who disagree is to find the definitive studies that address all of Henci’s points. If is such an important issue, those studies would be available for us all to read. There is harm being done to mothers and babies by the definition of Gestational diabetes.  MM
