Why the study?
Does the development of Type 2 Diabetes determine retinal, renal, and cardiovascular outcomes in women with previous Gestational Diabetes Mellitus?
Does the development of Type 2 Diabetes determine retinal, renal, and cardiovascular outcomes in women with previous Gestational Diabetes Mellitus?
In women with prior GDM, cardiovascular risk is elevated regardless of T2DM development, while microvascular risk is dependent on developing T2DM.
Supports CV monitoring after GDM independent of T2DM; leaves open microvascular screening needs before diabetes onset.
Women with GDM have an elevated risk of cardiovascular outcomes, even in the absence of T2DM. In contrast, microvascular risk emerges only in those in whom T2DM develops.
