Gestational diabetes & diabetes in pregnancy
Impact of Gestational Diabetes Detection Thresholds on Infant Growth and Body Composition: A Prospective Cohort Study Within a Randomized Trial
Authors' conclusion
GDM detected using lower but not higher criteria, was not associated with increased infant fat mass at 5-6 months, regardless of maternal treatment. GDM detected and treated using higher thresholds was also not associated with increased fat mass at 5-6 months.
