In this episode of Talking O&G: a RANZCOG Podcast, host Dr Nisha Khot speaks to Associate Professor Alexis Shub about the ADIPS 2025 Consensus Recommendations for the Screening, Diagnosis, and Classification of Gestational Diabetes. Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is one of the most common conditions of pregnancy – in 2023, 17% of pregnant people in Australia were diagnosed with GDM. Dr Khot and A/Prof Shub unpack the changes in the ADIPS guideline – including an increased diagnostic threshold for GDM and reduced reliance on early-pregnancy OGTT – and the benefits they carry for both clinicians and patients. They explore the increased focus on the HbA1c test, what the options are for people unable to tolerate an OGTT, and tips for clinicians adopting the guideline into practice. While this guideline is specific to Australian practitioners, separate guidelines are currently under development for Aotearoa New Zealand, which will be covered in a future episode of Talking O&G. 🔗 Resources mentioned in this episode: Australasian Diabetes in Pregnancy Society (ADIPS) 2025 consensus recommendations for the screening, diagnosis and classification of gestational diabetes ADIPS Frequently Asked Questions The Conversation “How pregnant women are tested for gestational diabetes is changing.

RANZCOG acknowledges the need for more inclusive terminology for gender diversity. In this podcast we aim to use inclusive language, and any use of the term “women” should be interpreted to include all people requiring gynaecological and obstetric care.
