New gestational diabetes pathway, plus lab bulletins

Oct 30, 2026

Alberta’s Pathway Hub has a new provincewide primary care pathway on gestational diabetes in pregnancy.

The pathway was created to:

  • Support the care needs of patients
  • Help address growing demand for this information across the healthcare system

It features the clinical pathway, referral guideline, and patient resources.


Lab bulletins:

  • Effective immediately, Alberta Precision Laboratories (APL) has updated the General Laboratory Requisition to be more evidence-based and align with Choosing Canada Wisely guidance; open the bulletin.
  • Effective Sunday, Nov. 1, saliva swab from a newborn baby will be an acceptable specimen for the cytomegalovirus polymerase chain reaction (CMV PCR) test at APL-Public Health Laboratory; open the bulletin.
