The authors have brought to the publisher's attention that there were some errors in [Tables 1] and [2] and in the “Results” section in the above article published in the American Journal of Perinatology, Volume 33, Number 10, 2016 (DOI: 10.1055/s-0036-1583193).

In Results section, the third and fifth sentences of the first paragraph should read as follows:

Women with abnormal postpartum day 2 results were similar to women with normal postpartum day 2 results except that more women with abnormal results required medicine to treat their GDM ([Table 1]).

Women who did not return for testing at 6 to 12 weeks postpartum were more likely to have less education, have Medicaid, and to have GDM previously ([Table 2]).

The correct tables appear as follows:
