Repeated oral glucose tolerance tests in women at risk for gestational diabetes mellitus

Pregnant women with a negative oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) between 24-28 weeks as part of risk-based screening for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) may develop clinical signs or symptoms suggestive for GDM in the third trimester.
