Assess Your GDM Risk

WHO 2013 IADPSG · DIPSI India · FOGSI 2022 · ADA 2024

Age, Height and Pre-Pregnancy Weight BMI calculated using Indian/Asian WHO Asia-Pacific cutoffs: overweight at BMI 23+, obese at BMI 27.5+. Higher BMI is a major independent GDM risk factor linked to insulin resistance and visceral fat.
Current Trimester High-risk women screen in T1 (first visit). Standard screening at 24-28 weeks (T2). DIPSI India: 75g glucose 2-hour test, non-fasting. WHO IADPSG: fasting + 1-hour + 2-hour values.
GDM Risk Factors: Select All That Apply Risk factors listed by FOGSI-DIPSI 2022, ADA 2024 and NICE NG3 2020. Each factor carries a DietXP point weight; this score has not been validated in a study. Prior GDM is the highest-weight single risk factor (+5 pts). No factors = skip. Multiple factors are additive.
OGTT Blood Glucose Values (if already tested) Optional. Enter laboratory values from your 75g OGTT. WHO 2013 / IADPSG: ANY single threshold = GDM. Educational interpretation only: formal diagnosis requires clinical confirmation. Leave blank if not yet tested.
Normal: below 92 mg/dL
Normal: below 180 mg/dL
Normal: below 153 mg/dL
Thyroid Status Thyroid disorders affect 2-3% of Indian pregnancies and coexist with GDM risk. Hypothyroidism increases insulin resistance. Universal thyroid screening is recommended in India (FOGSI 2022; ATA 2017).
Dietary Preference and Calorie Goal Used to generate your GDM-specific Indian food plan. GDM diet: 40-45% carbohydrate (vs standard 55-65%) with low-GI sources. Daily calorie target varies by BMI: overly restrictive diets risk fetal ketosis.
From your pregnancy nutrition calculator or obstetrician. Used to calculate carb gram targets.
