Description
Salwa Al-Maraghi and co-authors asked whether blood sugar swings early in pregnancy foretell diabetes of pregnancy, in a study from twenty twenty-five. The condition is usually found near the end of the second trimester, and it was not known if sugar shifts show up sooner. The team used health records from Qatar's public system, for women tested before twenty weeks and again in the early third trimester.
A weighted average sugar measure was used to gauge early swings. Women who later developed the condition had early values that stayed in the normal range but ran higher than in women who stayed free of it. Past a set threshold, the odds of later diabetes roughly tripled. The authors say early sugar swings can flag high-risk women in time for earlier care.
