Glucose levels obtained when screening for gestational diabetes can also be used to predict a woman’s risk of cardiovascular disease, a Canadian study suggests.
While patients with gestational diabetes (GDM) are known to have a higher risk of CVD risk, the researchers believe they are the first to show that “higher-end of normal” glucose levels are also associated with more CVD events.
