Abstract
AIM Women with overweight or obesity are recommended to lose weight before conception to optimize pregnancy outcomes. However, the obstetrical implications of prepregnancy weight loss have been minimally examined. The objective of this study was to investigate the association between prepregnancy weight loss and maternal metabolic and inflammatory profiles during a subsequent pregnancy. METHODS This study was a retrospective analysis of National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data (2003-2018). Participants were women who were pregnant at the time of assessment. Prepregnancy weight loss was described as percent weight change based on self-reported baseline (1 year before pregnancy) and prepregnancy weight. Metabolic (e.g., blood pressure [BP]) and inflammatory biomarkers (i.e., high-sensitivity C-reactive protein [hs-CRP]) were determined by standard medical tests. Statistical analyses included linear regressions with appropriate imputation, weighting, and variance estimation techniques. RESULTS Participants (N = 236) reported a mean percent weight loss of 4.6% (standard error [SE] = 0.3%) during the year before pregnancy. Regression models showed that prepregnancy weight loss was inversely associated with levels of total cholesterol (β = -1.24, p = 0.01), low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (β = -0.79, p < 0.01), and high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (β = -0.18, p < 0.01). The effect of prepregnancy weight loss on BP, insulin sensitivity, and hs-CRP was not significant, although there was a trend toward higher levels of diastolic BP (β = 0.24, p = 0.07) and hs-CRP (β = 0.10, p = 0.08). CONCLUSIONS This study found favorable changes in lipid profiles following prepregnancy weight loss. Due to limitations such as a relatively small sample size, self-reported weight measures, and missing data on several outcome variables, future studies are needed to confirm study findings.

The Role of the Glycemic Index and Glycemic Load in the Dietary Approach of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus. Nutrients 2024; 16:399. [PMID: 38337683 PMCID: PMC10857473 DOI: 10.3390/nu16030399] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/14/2023] [Revised: 01/19/2024] [Accepted: 01/20/2024] [Indexed: 02/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a common metabolic disorder that often develops during pregnancy, characterized by glucose intolerance and insulin resistance (IR). To ensure the well-being of both the mother and the fetus, the body undergoes multiple metabolic and immunological changes that result in peripheral IR and, under certain hereditary or acquired abnormalities, GDM in predisposed women. The adverse short- and long-term effects of GDM impact both the mother and the fetus. Nutrition seems to play an important role to prevent GDM or improve its evolution. An emphasis has been given to the proportion of carbohydrates (CHO) relative to protein and lipids, as well as dietary patterns, in GDM. The effects of CHO on postprandial glucose concentrations are reflected in the glycemic index (GI) and glycemic load (GL). Diets rich in GI and GL may induce or exacerbate IR, whereas diets low in GI and GL appear to enhance insulin sensitivity and improve glycemic control. These positive outcomes may be attributed to direct interactions with insulin and glucose homeostasis or indirect effects through improved body composition and weight management. This comprehensive narrative review aims to explore the significance of nutrition, with a focus on the critical evaluation of GI and GL in the dietary management of women with GDM.

Abstract
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) increases the risk of developing metabolic disorders in both pregnant women and their offspring. Factors such as nutrition or the intrauterine environment may play an important role, through epigenetic mechanisms, in the development of GDM. The aim of this work is to identify epigenetic marks involved in the mechanisms or pathways related to gestational diabetes. A total of 32 pregnant women were selected, 16 of them with GDM and 16 non-GDM. DNA methylation pattern was obtained from Illumina Methylation Epic BeadChip, from peripheral blood samples at the diagnostic visit (26-28 weeks). Differential methylated positions (DMPs) were extracted using ChAMP and limma package in R 2.9.10, with a threshold of FDR <0.05, deltabeta >|5|% and B >0. A total of 1.141 DMPs were found, and 714 were annotated in genes. A functional analysis was performed, and we found 23 genes significantly related to carbohydrate metabolism. Finally, a total of 27 DMPs were correlated with biochemical variables such as glucose levels at different points of oral glucose tolerance test, fasting glucose, cholesterol, HOMAIR and HbA1c, at different visits during pregnancy and postpartum. Our results show that there is a differentiated methylation pattern between GDM and non-GDM. Furthermore, the genes annotated to the DMPs could be implicated in the development of GDM as well as in alterations in related metabolic variables.

Abstract
Gestational diabetes mellitus is a condition marked by raised blood sugar levels and insulin resistance that usually occurs during the second or third trimester of pregnancy. According to the World Health Organization, hyperglycemia affects 16.9% of pregnancies worldwide. Dietary changes are the primarily alternative treatment for gestational diabetes mellitus. This paper aims to perform an exhaustive overview of the interaction between diet, gene expression, and the metabolic pathways related to insulin resistance. The intake of foods rich in carbohydrates can influence the gene expression of glycolysis, as well as foods rich in fat, can disrupt the beta-oxidation and ketogenesis pathways. Furthermore, vitamins and minerals are related to inflammatory processes regulated by the TLR4/NF-κB and one carbon metabolic pathways. We indicate that diet regulated gene expression of PPARα, NOS, CREB3L3, IRS, and CPT I, altering cellular physiological mechanisms and thus increasing or decreasing the risk of gestational diabetes. The alteration of gene expression can cause inflammation, inhibition of fatty acid transport, or on the contrary help in the modulation of ketogenesis, improve insulin sensitivity, attenuate the effects of glucotoxicity, and others. Therefore, it is critical to comprehend the metabolic changes of pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus, to determine nutrients that help in the prevention and treatment of insulin resistance and its long-term consequences.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Unlike gestational diabetic mellitus (GDM), which is strictly managed by most patients and physicians, obesity does not have proper management guidelines, and the importance of its management during pregnancy is often ignored. The aim of this study was to compare maternal and neonatal outcomes according to obesity and GDM, alone or in combination. METHODS This was a retrospective cohort study of 3,078 consecutive pregnant women who experienced prenatal care and delivery of a live singleton neonate between January 2016 and December 2020 at our institution. Study participants were categorized into 4 mutually exclusive groups, as follows: group 1, no GDM without obesity; group 2, GDM without obesity; group 3, no GDM with obesity; and group 4, GDM with obesity. RESULTS Compared to group 2, group 3 had higher rates of pre-eclampsia, cesarean section including emergent cesarean section rate. Also, neonates in group 3 were heavier and had lower glucose levels compared to those in group 2. Of note, there was no significant difference in maternal or neonatal outcomes except the rate of large-for-gestational-age (LGA) between group 1 and group 2. Among the GDM groups, group 4 had higher risks for pre-eclampsia, cesarean section, and LGA infant status than group 2. CONCLUSION Our data showed that obese women without GDM face higher risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes than women with supervised GDM and non-obese women. We also confirmed that adverse pregnancy outcomes associated with GDM were mainly attributable to obesity among women receiving GDM education.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Preconception lifestyle intervention holds potential for reducing gestational diabetes mellitus, but clinical trial data are lacking. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to determine the effects of a prepregnancy weight loss intervention on gestational diabetes mellitus recurrence in women with overweight/obesity and previous gestational diabetes mellitus. STUDY DESIGN A 2-site, randomized controlled trial comparing a prepregnancy lifestyle intervention with educational control was conducted between December 2017 and February 2022. A total of 199 English- and Spanish-speaking adults with overweight/obesity and previous gestational diabetes mellitus were randomized to a 16-week prepregnancy lifestyle intervention with ongoing treatment until conception or educational control. The primary outcome was gestational diabetes mellitus recurrence. Analyses excluded 6 participants who conceived but did not have gestational diabetes mellitus ascertained by standard methods. RESULTS In the 63 (33%) women who conceived and had gestational diabetes mellitus ascertained (Ns=38/102 [37%] intervention vs 25/91 [28.0%] control; P=.17), those in the intervention group had significantly greater weight loss at 16 weeks compared with controls (4.8 [3.4-6.0] vs 0.7 [-0.9 to 2.3] kg; P=.001) and a greater proportion lost ≥5% of body weight (50.0% [17/34] vs 13.6% [3/22]; P=.005). There was no significant difference in the incidence of gestational diabetes mellitus recurrence between the intervention (57.9% [ns=23/38]) and the control group (44.0% [ns=11/25]; odds ratio, 1.8 [0.59-5.8]). Independent of group, greater prepregnancy weight loss predicted 21% lower odds of gestational diabetes mellitus recurrence (odds ratio, 0.79 [0.66-0.94]; P=.008). A ≥5% weight loss before conception reduced the odds of gestational diabetes mellitus recurrence by 82% (odds ratio, 0.18 [0.04-0.88]; P=.03). CONCLUSION Lifestyle intervention produced considerable prepregnancy weight loss but did not affect gestational diabetes mellitus rates. Given that the conception rate was 50% lower than expected, this study was underpowered.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION South Asians are more likely to develop gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) than white Europeans. Diet and lifestyle modifications may prevent GDM and reduce undesirable outcomes in both the mother and offspring. Our study seeks to evaluate the effectiveness and participant acceptability of a culturally tailored, personalised nutrition intervention on the glucose area under the curve (AUC) after a 2-hour 75 g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) in pregnant women of South Asian ancestry with GDM risk factors. METHODS AND ANALYSIS A total of 190 South Asian pregnant women with at least 2 of the following GDM risk factors-prepregnancy body mass index>23, age>29, poor-quality diet, family history of type 2 diabetes in a first-degree relative or GDM in a previous pregnancy will be enrolled during gestational weeks 12-18, and randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to: (1) usual care, plus weekly text messages to encourage walking and paper handouts or (2) a personalised nutrition plan developed and delivered by a culturally congruent dietitian and health coach; and FitBit to track steps. The intervention lasts 6-16 weeks, depending on week of recruitment. The primary outcome is the glucose AUC from a three-sample 75 g OGTT 24-28 weeks' gestation. The secondary outcome is GDM diagnosis, based on Born-in-Bradford criteria (fasting glucose>5.2 mmol/L or 2 hours post load>7.2 mmol/L). ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION The study has been approved by the Hamilton Integrated Research Ethics Board (HiREB #10942). Findings will be disseminated among academics and policy-makers through scientific publications along with community-orientated strategies. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT03607799.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Intrauterine exposure to maternal obesity and hyperglycemia greatly increases offspring health risks. Scalable lifestyle interventions to lower weight and glycemia prior to conception are needed, but have been understudied, especially in diverse and low-income women with disproportionately high risks of negative maternal-child outcomes. The objective of this report is to provide initial evidence of the National Diabetes Prevention Program's (NDPP) effects on maternal-child outcomes in diverse, low-income women and their offspring. METHODS The yearlong NDPP was delivered in a safety net healthcare system to 1,569 participants from 2013 to 2019. Using medical records, we evaluated outcomes for women < 40 years who became pregnant and delivered after attending the NDPP for ≥ 1 month (n = 32), as compared to a usual care group of women < 40 years (n = 26) who were initially eligible for the NDPP but were excluded due to pregnancy at enrollment. RESULTS Most women in either group were Latinx, had Medicaid or were uninsured, and had obesity at baseline. The mean difference in BMI change from baseline to conception was - 1.8 ± 0.6 kg/m2 (p = 0.002) for NDPP versus usual care. Fewer NDPP participants had obesity at conception (56.7% vs. 88.0%, p = 0.011) and hyperglycemia in early pregnancy (4.0% vs. 25.0%; p = 0.020) than usual care. No other differences were statistically significant, yet nearly all outcomes favored the NDPP. Covariate-adjusted results were consistent, except the difference in frequency of obesity at conception was no longer significant (p = 0.132). DISCUSSION Results provide preliminary evidence that the NDPP may support a reduction in peri-conceptional obesity/diabetes risks among diverse and low-income women.

Identification of potential biomarkers and metabolic insights for gestational diabetes prevention: A review of evidence contrasting gestational diabetes versus weight loss studies that may direct future nutritional metabolomics studies. Nutrition 2023; 107:111898. [PMID: 36525799 DOI: 10.1016/j.nut.2022.111898] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/22/2021] [Revised: 08/22/2022] [Accepted: 10/27/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022]
Abstract
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) significantly increases maternal health risks and adverse effects for the offspring. Observational studies suggest that weight loss before pregnancy may be a promising GDM prevention method. Still, biochemical pathways linking preconception weight changes with subsequent development of GDM among women who are overweight or obese remain unclear. Metabolomic assessment is a powerful approach for understanding the global biochemical pathways linking preconception weight changes and subsequent GDM. We hypothesize that many of the alterations of metabolite levels associated with GDM will change in one direction in GDM studies but will change in the opposite direction in studies focusing on lifestyle interventions for weight loss. The present review summarizes available evidence from 21 studies comparing women with GDM with healthy participants and 12 intervention studies that investigated metabolite changes that occurred during weight loss using caloric restriction and behavioral interventions. We discuss 15 metabolites, including amino acids, lipids, amines, carbohydrates, and carbohydrate derivatives. Of particular note are the altered levels of branched-chain amino acids, alanine, palmitoleic acid, lysophosphatidylcholine 18:1, and hypoxanthine because of their mechanistic links to insulin resistance and weight change. Mechanisms that may explain how these metabolite modifications contribute to GDM development in those who are overweight or obese are proposed, including insulin resistance pathways. Future nutritional metabolomics preconception intervention studies in overweight or obese are necessary to investigate whether weight loss through lifestyle intervention can reduce GDM occurrence in association with these metabolite alterations and to test the value of these metabolites as potential diagnostic biomarkers of GDM development.

The Bidirectional Relationship between Gestational Diabetes and Depression in Pregnant Women: A Systematic Search and Review. Healthcare (Basel) 2023; 11:healthcare11030404. [PMID: 36766979 PMCID: PMC9914262 DOI: 10.3390/healthcare11030404] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/01/2022] [Revised: 01/27/2023] [Accepted: 01/27/2023] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
This systematic search and review aims to understand the two-way relationship between gestational diabetes and depression. This study assesses gestational diabetes in relation to a history of depression, depression during pregnancy and postpartum depression. Searches were conducted on PubMed and Scopus. Studies were excluded due to being duplicates, not available, published before 2015 or did not include both gestational diabetes and depression. Of the 915 articles initially identified, 22 articles were included for review. Of the included studies, 18 were cohorts, 2 were case-controls, 1 was cross-sectional and 1 was a claims analysis. A meta-ethnography was conducted, and a bidirectional relationship was observed between a history of depression, depression during pregnancy, postpartum depression and gestational diabetes. Differing methodologies between studies were a limiting factor throughout this review. A two-way relationship between gestational diabetes and depression was observed; the diagnosis of gestational diabetes may lead to an increased risk of depression, both during the pregnancy and in the postpartum period, and a history of depression or symptoms of depression during pregnancy may lead to an increased risk of gestational diabetes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Women with overweight (a body mass index of ≥ 25 kg/m2) or obesity (a body mass index of ≥ 30 kg/m2) are at greater risk of experiencing complications during pregnancy and labour than women with a healthy weight. Women who remove their long-acting reversible contraception (i.e. coils or implants) are one of the few groups of people who contact services as part of their preparation for conception, creating an opportunity to offer a weight loss intervention. OBJECTIVES The objectives were to understand if routine NHS data captured the pathway from long-acting reversible contraception removal to pregnancy and included body mass index; to identify the suitable components of a preconception weight loss intervention; and to engage with key stakeholders to determine the acceptability and feasibility of asking women with overweight/obesity to delay the removal of their long-acting reversible contraception in order to take part in a preconception weight loss intervention. DESIGN This was a preparatory mixed-methods study, assessing the acceptability and feasibility of a potential intervention, using routine NHS data and purposefully collected qualitative data. PARTICIPANTS The NHS routine data included all women with a long-acting reversible contraception code. There were three groups of participants in the surveys and interviews: health-care practitioners who remove long-acting reversible contraception; weight management consultants; and women of reproductive age with experience of overweight/obesity and of using long-acting reversible contraception. SETTING UK-based health-care practitioners recruited at professional meetings; and weight management consultants and contraceptive users recruited via social media. DATA SOURCES Anonymised routine data from UK sexual health clinics and the Clinical Practice Research Datalink, including the Pregnancy Register; and online surveys and qualitative interviews with stakeholders. RESULTS The records of 2,632,871 women aged 16-48 years showed that 318,040 had at least one long-acting reversible contraception event, with 62% of records including a body mass index. Given the identified limitations of the routine NHS data sets, it would not be feasible to reliably identify women with overweight/obesity who request a long-acting reversible contraception removal with an intention to become pregnant. Online surveys were completed by 100 health-care practitioners, four weight management consultants and 243 contraceptive users. Ten health-care practitioners and 20 long-acting reversible contraception users completed qualitative interviews. A realist-informed approach generated a hypothesised programme theory. The combination of weight discussions and the delay of long-acting reversible contraception removal was unacceptable as an intervention to contraceptive users for ethical and practical reasons. However, a preconception health intervention incorporating weight loss could be acceptable, and one potential programme is outlined. LIMITATIONS There was very limited engagement with weight management consultants, and the sample of participating stakeholders may not be representative. CONCLUSIONS An intervention that asks women to delay long-acting reversible contraception removal to participate in a preconception weight loss intervention would be neither feasible nor acceptable. A preconception health programme, including weight management, would be welcomed but requires risk communication training of health-care practitioners. FUTURE WORK Work to improve routine data sets, increase awareness of the importance of preconception health and overcome health-care practitioner barriers to discussing weight as part of preconception care is a priority. TRIAL REGISTRATION This trial is registered as ISRCTN14733020.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aims to investigate the relationship between daily physical exercise (PE) duration and frequency of abnormal plasma glucose (PG) times both during fasting and 2 h after a standard diet in women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). METHODS We established a cohort involving 878 GDM women. GDM was confirmed by a diagnostic 75-g oral glucose tolerance test. Information was extracted from the delivery records and antenatal checkup forms. Physical exercise information was collected through a questionnaire. RESULTS Over 80% of GDM women were under 35 years old. An abnormal fasting PG with ≥1 occurrence presented in 742/878 (84.51%), and the abnormal PG 2 h after standard diet with ≥1 occurrence presented in 634/878 (72.21%). Compared to GDM women with ≥4 occurrences of abnormal fasting PG, GDM women with 0 occurrences (odds ratio (OR) = 2.56), one occurrence (OR = 1.94), two occurrences (OR = 2.29), and three occurrences (OR = 2.16) had a higher proportion of PE duration being in the 45-60-min/day group than those in the <45-min/day group, and GDM women also had a higher proportion of PE during being in the 61-90- and >90-min/day group than those in the <45-min/day group. However, the duration of PE was not associated to the number of abnormal PG occurrences 2-h after the standard diet. CONCLUSION Moderate-intensity PE duration in GDM women was negatively associated with the number of abnormal fasting PG occurrences but not with the number of PG occurrences 2 h after the standard diet.

Abstract
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is the most prevalent pregnancy-related endocrinopathy, affecting up to 25% of pregnancies worldwide. Pregnant individuals who develop GDM have an increased risk of complications during pregnancy and birth, as well as future development of type 2 diabetes mellitus and CVD. This increased risk is subsequently passed along to the offspring, perpetuating a cycle of metabolic dysfunction across generations. GDM prevention strategies have had mixed results for many years, but more recent systematic reviews and meta-analyses have suggested potential new avenues of prevention. The objective of this review is to summarise the literature examining the efficacy of lifestyle interventions for the prevention of GDM and to uncover if specific individual-level characteristics influence this outcome. Based on the present literature, we determined that future trials should be designed to understand if initiation of lifestyle intervention in the preconception period is more effective to reduce GDM. Furthermore, trials initiated during pregnancy should be developed through the lens of precision prevention. That is, trials should tailor intervention approaches based on individual-level risk defined by the presence of modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors. Finally, future interventions might also benefit from just-in-time adaptive intervention designs, which allow for interventions to be modified in real-time based on objective assessments of an individual's response.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus has been steadily increasing over the past decades and is one of the most significant global public health concerns. Diabetes mellitus patients have an increased risk of both surgical and post-surgical complications. The post-surgical risks are associated with the primary condition that led to surgery and the hyperglycaemia per se. Gut microbiota seems to contribute to glucose homeostasis and insulin resistance. It affects the metabolism through body weight and energy homeostasis, integrating the peripheral and central food intake regulatory signals. Homeostasis of gut microbiota seems to be enhanced by probiotics pre and postoperatively. The term probiotics is used to describe some species of live microorganisms that, when administered in adequate amounts, confer health benefits on the host. The role of probiotics in intestinal or microbial skin balance after abdominal or soft tissue elective surgeries on DM patients seems beneficial, as it promotes anti-inflammatory cytokine production while increasing the wound-healing process. This review article aims to present the interrelation of probiotic supplements with DM patients undergoing elective surgeries.

Lewandowska M. Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) Risk for Declared Family History of Diabetes, in Combination with BMI Categories. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2021; 18:ijerph18136936. [PMID: 34203509 PMCID: PMC8293805 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph18136936] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/04/2021] [Revised: 06/15/2021] [Accepted: 06/24/2021] [Indexed: 12/20/2022]
Abstract
Whether categories of family history of diabetes can act as independent risk factors for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM-1, -2) has not yet been established, and neither has it been established how categories of body mass index (BMI) affect these relationships. A group of 912 women without chronic diseases, recruited in the first trimester, was investigated: 125 (13.7%) women developed GDM-1 (treated with diet); 21 (2.3%) women developed GDM-2 (treated with insulin); and a control group consisted of 766 non-diabetic women. A multiple logistic regression was used to evaluate adjusted odds ratios (AOR (95% confidence intervals)) of GDM-1 and GDM-2 for declared diabetes in the parents or grandparents (separately). These relationships were investigated in the whole cohort and subgroups of pre-pregnancy BMI. (1) Some categories of the family history were independent risk factors of GDM-1 or GDM-2. Compared to ‘absence of diabetes in the family’, women with diabetes in the father had a 3.68-fold increase in GDM-1 risk (AOR-b = 3.68 (2.23–6.07)), and women with diabetes in the mother had a 2.13-fold increase in GDM-1 risk (AOR-b = 2.13 (1.1–4.14)) and a 4.73-fold increase in GDM-2 risk (AOR-b = 4.73 (1.26–17.77)). Women with diabetes in the grandmother had a 2.34-fold increase in GDM-1 risk (AOR-b = 2.34 (1.29–4.24)). (2) The cumulative assessment of diabetes in the parents and/or grandparents was not related to the intensification of the risk of GDM, except for the increased risk of GDM-1 for diabetes in both mother and grandmothers simultaneously (AOR-b = 8.80 (1.16–66.57)), however, this group was very small. (3) The analyses in the subgroups of BMI categories showed that diabetes in the father was also an independent risk factor of GDM in the subgroup of pregnant women with normal BMI. In the subgroups of overweight and/or obesity, the risk of GDM for paternal and maternal diabetes was approximately twice as high as compared to the results of pregnant women with normal BMIs. Additionally, apart from the maternal influence of diabetes, the results suggest a significant influence of diabetes in the father on the risk of GDM, even (interestingly) in lean pregnant women.
