Efficacy of a phone reminder to improve adherence to post-partum glucose tolerance testing after gestational diabetes and clinical predictors of post-partum follow-up compliance
Authors' conclusion
The phone reminder improved post-partum follow-up adherence. Pre-pregnancy BMI, number of OGTT alterations and type of therapy could identify poorly adherent women.
