Implication

Randomized trial explores gut microbiota's impact on type 2 diabetes risk in Hispanic women, suggesting significant metabolic implications.

Key Points

This research investigates how a history of gestational diabetes (GDM) affects gut microbiota and its metabolites over time, particularly regarding type 2 diabetes risk.
Analyzed microbial species and serum metabolites related to GDM among parous women from HCHS/SOL.
Examined prospective associations of GDM-related microbiome with incident type 2 diabetes over 6 years and part of GDM-related metabolites over 12 years.
Total samples included 1525 for microbial analysis and 2341 for metabolite analysis.
Seven microbial species showed significant differences between women with and without GDM, with specific species linked to inflammation and short-chain fatty acid production.
Fifteen metabolites were consistently associated with GDM and the GDM-related microbiome, nine were linked to glycemic traits and type 2 diabetes.
A metabolite score derived from nine microbial-related metabolites accounted for approximately 20% of the association between a history of GDM and the development of type 2 diabetes.
