Core Tip	Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) though accepted as a screening tool for diagnosis of diabetes by professional bodies, its role in early postnatal screening of women with gestational diabetes mellitus is not known, which is explored in this study. Analysing the results of simultaneous oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and HbA1c estimations undertaken as a part of postpartum screening at 6 wk, we note that HbA1c has a high negative predictive value and can help in excluding diabetes (but not impaired glycaemia). We thus propose that HbA1c could potentially be used with fasting blood glucose estimation to avoid OGTT in those women with an HbA1c < 44 mmol/mol.
