When should ante natal testing be started in GDMA 1 diet controlled?
What should be the frequency ?

 

[Global Disrobal]

Generally daily kick counts will suffice for pregnancies complicated by GDMA1.

For GDMA2 with normal growth and fluid I recommend weekly NST with AFI from 32-35 weeks and then twice weekly NST (no AFI) thereafter. If poorly controlled, twice weekly NST starting at 28 weeks.

As you'll see in your literature search, there is a great deal of variation, but this is how we go about it.

Best of luck!
