Gestational diabetes & diabetes in pregnancy

Impact of different types of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and their duration on incident post-partum risk of diabetes mellitus: Results from the French nationwide study CONCEPTION

Diabetes MetabPublished Prospective cohort study

Authors' conclusion

Women who experienced an HDP had twice the risk of developing DM. Early blood glucose assessment and blood pressure monitoring should be more widely recommended after HDP diagnosis.
