Endometriosis a ‘red flag’ for GDM, review shows

Women with severe endometriosis are three times more likely to develop gestational diabetes than those with milder forms of the condition, according to a systematic review.
Based on data from 4.6 million women, Italian obstetricians also reported a 23% higher risk of gestational diabetes (GDM) associated with endometriosis, regardless of severity, compared with controls.
