Effect of postpartum glucose tolerance results on subsequent weight retention in women with recent gestational diabetes: A retrospective cohort study
Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice Apr 23, 2019
Purno NH, et al. - Researchers performed this cohort study of 319 women with gestational diabetes (GDM) by collecting survey data during pregnancy and over the first and second postpartum year to assess how weight retention is influenced by the awareness of normal postpartum glucose tolerance vs unawareness to glucose tolerance. In this cohort, 110 (34.5%) were “aware, normal;” 183 (57.4%) were “unaware;” and 26 (8.2%) were “aware, abnormal.” They observed significantly higher weight by the second year among women with GDM with normal postpartum glucose tolerance than those unaware of their results. Post-pregnancy normalization of glucose tolerance may be mistaken as the resolution of diabetes risk and lower behaviors than can reduce risk.
