Postpartum management of gestational diabetes - is blood glucose monitoring meaningful?

Almost all blood glucose levels normalised shortly after delivery.

Elevated blood glucose levels had no direct clinical consequences.

There is a mild correlation between fasting plasma glucose on the first postpartum day and HbA 1c three months postpartum in patients with insulin-dependent gestational diabetes mellitus (iGDM), but no significant correlation was observed in patients with diet-controlled gestational diabetes mellitus (dGDM).
