Core Tip	Globally, the screening and diagnosis of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is idiosyncratic. This disarray is independent of whether a country is affluent (e.g., Denmark) or relatively poor (e.g., Bangladesh). The reason is that not just the international but also the national medical and obstetric organizations in a country advise a multitude of approaches to GDM. This confuses the primary providers of obstetric care, who need one clear, evidence-based, global recommendation. Despite all the differences, in the near future, the light at the end of the tunnel for providing such a universal global GDM guideline is bright.
