This was a cross-sectional analysis (1980-2017) in Leicester to examine the proportion of women with a history of gestational diabetes (GDM) who (a) attended the 13-week postpartum screening and (b) attended annual type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) screening and assessed the association between screening rates and sociodemographic factors. We found that women with a history of GDM were not adequately screened for type 2 diabetes in primary care. 62% did not have postpartum screening and 84% did not have the recommended annual screening. A significant association was found between South Asian ethnicity and not being screened annually. These results emphasise the need for better targeted education of pregnant women about the risks of T2DM and the need for more research across the UK into the screening of women with a history of GDM and the potential for a national screening programme.
