Women screened for gestational diabetes mellitus have a high long-term risk of developing diabetes despite normal oral glucose tolerance test during pregnancy

It is recommended to screen pregnant women with high risk of diabetes mellitus (DM) (e.g high BMI, family history of diabetes or previous macrosomia) for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) with an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). In the december issue of Danish Medical Journal, Dubietyte et al report results of a 28-years follow up study of 347 women screened for GDM but with normal or borderline OGTT. The authors find that the incidence of DM is increased app. three times in this group and discuss possibilities of implementation of interventions to postpone development of manifest DM.

A tribute to Nordic medical research

In the Danish Medical Journal, we want to put a very special focus on Nordic medical research of particularly high quality, initially with a focus on Danish researchers. We have invited a number of researchers to write a state-of-the-art review based on the following requirements: You must be active in research and have an H-index of 100 or more. We have even named the phenomenon "The Nordic 100 Club", as we have also chosen to limit it to researchers from the Nordic region. In November we have published the first state-of-the-art review by Professor Henrik Kehlet: Enhanced recovery after surgery. From clinical observations to evidence-based practice
