Should the IADPSG criteria be applied when diagnosing early-onset gestational diabetes?

We could not find the effectiveness of therapeutic interventions initiated after GDM diagnosis in the early pregnancy based on the IADPSG criteria, compared with therapeutic interventions after a mid-pregnancy GDM diagnosis. It was suggested that the IADPSG criteria for diagnosing GDM at 24-28 weeks' gestation should not be applied to Japanese women in the early pregnancy by a broader interpretation.
