About

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is commonly linked to the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). There is a need to characterize metabolic changes associated with GDM in order to find novel biomarkers for T2DM.

Full description

GDM, a common complication of pregnancy, affects 17.8% of pregnancies worldwide per year. Women with a history of GDM have an approximately 7-fold higher risk for developing T2DM in the future than women without GDM. However, data on the factors associated with the development of T2DM in women with GDM are not widely available.
