Purno NH, et al. - In this retrospective cohort study, researchers ascertained if awareness of normal postpartum glucose tolerance was correlated with higher weight retention vs being unaware of glucose tolerance. This cohort study of gestational diabetes (GDM) women gathered survey data during pregnancy and the first and second postpartum years. For this investigation, women who reported normal glucose tolerance (“aware, normal”) in the first year were compared to those reporting no testing or unsure of results (“unaware”). Women with normal results had a mean 3.66 kg higher weight by the second year vs those unaware of results, following adjustment for baseline weight and covariates. Overall, the authors concluded that by the second year women with GDM with normal postpartum glucose tolerance had significantly higher weight vs those who were unaware. Normal tolerance of glucose following pregnancy may be misinterpreted as a diabetes risk resolution and lower risk-reducing behavior.
