Gestational diabetes mellitus: an update: Associate Professor Susan de Jersey AdvAPD, CDE
What’s new and what endures in gestational diabetes mellitus
Earlier this year, the 2025 ADIPS Consensus Recommendations for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) were released. The updated Australian guidelines raise diagnostic thresholds, aiming to reduce overdiagnosis and focus care towards women who will benefit most. Associate Professor Susan de Jersey provides an overview and a rationale for the changes. Susan emphasises the value of compassionate, person-centred care that recognises emotional wellbeing throughout a GDM diagnosis and beyond.
