Abstract: Gestational diabetes mellitus（GDM）is defined as diabetes diagnosed in pregnancy although the patient's pre-pregnancy glucose metabolism is normal. The prevalence of GDM is rising globally in recent years，which has become a major public health issue endangering women's health. GDM patients have been found with a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes，but which may be prevented or delayed effectively by low-cost interventions，so it is critical to carry out postpartum blood glucose screening. Many guidelines for postpartum glucose screening have been issued successively，with partial differences in contents，but a similarity of achieving low patient adherence to screening，which may be attributed to many factors，such as low awareness of postpartum glucose screening，and low rate of being informed about screening by physicians among patients，as well as insufficient communication between involved departments. Various attempts have been made to improve the postpartum glucose screening rate in this group，but the results are as yet unsatisfactory. To offer views on improving postpartum glucose follow-up management of GDM patients，we reviewed the guidelines on postpartum glucose screening among GDM patients，and their adherence to postpartum glucose screening，as well as methods improving the screening prevalence.
