According to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), all pregnant women should be screened for gestational diabetes between 24-28 weeks of gestation, unless they have risk factors for developing gestational diabetes earlier in pregnancy. As Regina is a low-risk patient with no history of diabetes, she should be screened for gestational diabetes at 24-28 weeks.
