Women with FPG levels of 5.1-5.5 mmol/L have an increased risk of adverse maternal and perinatal outcome, although they would not be diagnosed with GDM according to NICE criteria.

Impact of the Implementation of New WHO Diagnostic Criteria for Gestational Diabetes Mellitus on Prevalence and Perinatal Outcomes: A Population-Based Study

“…However, it is still lower compared to other developed countries but comparable to some retrospective studies such as the one of Meek at al. [17] Furthermore, a tertiary referral center in Croatia GDM prevalence is reported to be above 20% [18]. …”

Plasma microRNA‐16‐5p, ‐17‐5p and ‐20a‐5p: Novel diagnostic biomarkers for gestational diabetes mellitus

“…Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is normal sugar metabolism or potential decreased glucose tolerance before pregnancy, gestational diabetes is confirmed during pregnancy . It affects approximately 7–14% of obese pregnancies and is associated with unfavorable pregnancy outcomes for those pregnant women .…”

Randomized cross‐over trial comparing the diagnosis of gestational diabetes by oral glucose tolerance test and a designed breakfast glucose profile

“…In the present study, the DBGP identified 7 (14%) patients with GDM in a study population considered to be at high risk of dysglycemia and where selective screening was mostly driven by obesity. In other studies with high‐risk patients, the incidence of GDM has been estimated at 14% . The current incidence of GDM in South Africa is unknown.…”
