The document discusses the importance of screening for gestational diabetes during pregnancy. Screening all pregnant women between 24-28 weeks allows for early detection and treatment if needed, improving health outcomes for both mother and baby. While some women have risk factors before 24 weeks, universal screening between 24-28 weeks catches most cases of gestational diabetes.
