The article presents a clinical commentary on the fetal surveillance of women having gestational diabetes. The author believes that there is a risk involved in women having gestational diabetes since diabetes in general has devastating effects on patients. She suggests that more study shall be conducted to give assurance among medical practitioners that fetal surveillance is not necessary among gestational diabetic women. Until such assurance would be available, the author suggests that physicians should be prudent in identifying the standard of care to be implemented to pregnant women
