The oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) is the standard of care in the postpartum period to screen patients with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) for persistent dysglycemia. However, most patients find it burdensome and dread having to do it. Adherence rates are low (18-61%), impeding initiation of follow-up care to improve diabetes-related outcomes in subsequent pregnancies and long-term.
