Delayed insulin secretion in the early postpartum period is associated with future abnormal glucose metabolism among women with a history of gestational diabetes mellitus: a prospective cohort study
Key Points
Sluggish insulin response during the early postpartum phase predicts future abnormal glucose metabolism.
Women with prior gestational diabetes exhibit this delayed response, indicating potential risk.
Assessment conducted in a prospective cohort of women with a history of gestational diabetes.
This finding highlights the importance of monitoring insulin levels postpartum to mitigate future health risks.
Abstract
