Description
Iman Taghizadeh Firoozjaei and co-authors detail a 2026 case-control study from Iran on gestational diabetes and thyroid problems in pregnancy. They compared 176 women who had gestational diabetes with 177 who did not, checking how often hypothyroidism appeared in each group. The study covered 353 pregnant women in total.
Women with gestational diabetes faced a risk of hypothyroidism roughly 2.8 times higher than the comparison group, and a history of other diseases also raised the risk. First-pregnancy age, parity, and breastfeeding showed no clear link. The authors suggest regular thyroid screening for pregnant women who have gestational diabetes or other conditions, whatever their reproductive history.
