Racial and Ethnic Inequities in Development of Type 2 Diabetes After Gestational Diabetes Mellitus

CONCLUSION: Population-based racial and ethnic inequities are substantial in type 2 diabetes after GDM. Characteristics at the time of delivery partially explain disparities, creating an opportunity to intervene on life-course cardiometabolic inequities, whereas weak associations of common social or structural measures and BMI in Black, Hispanic and South and Southeast Asian individuals demonstrate the need for greater understanding of how structural racism influences postpartum cardiometabolic risk in these groups.PMID:37678923 | DOI:10.1097/AOG.0000000000005324
