Description
Diabetes that starts in pregnancy can harm both mother and child, so early warning signs would help clinics act sooner. Gulay Balkas and co-authors asked whether two blood markers from early screening tests could give that warning in this 2024 study. The study also asked whether the markers could show who might later need insulin shots.
Records came from more than two thousand women with single pregnancies who had early screening and later sugar tests. About five in a hundred women developed the condition, and most of them managed it with diet alone. One marker ran clearly lower in the women who developed the condition, and lower still in those who needed insulin. The authors suggest the early blood values could help flag higher-risk women for closer checks.
