Abstract

Early GDM is associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes, however data on other outcomes are scarce. We evaluated women with early (n = 117) and classical (n = 412) GDM for long-term postpartum (median 32 months) glycemic and cardiometabolic outcomes and found a significantly higher prevalence of diabetes in the former [22.2 % vs. 12.6 %, p = 0.010].
